After some study, I have committed 0001, and also committed 0002 and
0003 as a single commit, with only minor tweaks.
I haven't made a full study of 0004 yet, but I'm a bit concerned about
a couple of the hunks, specifically this one:

nbuf = _hash_addovflpage(rel, metabuf, nbuf,
(nbuf == bucket_nbuf) ? true : false);
npage = BufferGetPage(nbuf);
And also this one:

oopaque = (HashPageOpaque) PageGetSpecialPointer(opage);
I haven't quite grasped what's going on here, but it looks like those
MarkBufferDirty() calls didn't move someplace else, but rather just
vanished. That would seem to be not good.
