Sanity-check that a page zeroed by redo routine is marked with WILL_INIT.

There was already a sanity-check in the other direction: if a page was
marked with WILL_INIT, it had to be initialized by the redo routine. It's
not strictly necessary for correctness that a page is marked with WILL_INIT
if it's going to be initialized at redo, but it's a missed optimization if
nothing else.

Fix a few instances of this issue in SP-GiST, where a block in WAL record
was not marked with WILL_INIT, but was in fact always initialized at redo.
We were creating a full-page image of the page unnecessarily in those
cases.

Backpatch to 9.5, where the new WILL_INIT flag was added.
