Fair enough. I renamed the types as suggested, changed a few more
places for consistency's sake, and pushed.
There still remain some places where palloc(BLCKSZ) or equivalent is used,
but there's no matching pfree. In a lot of them the buffer is returned
to the caller so there's no choice. It's likely that some are just
leaking the storage transiently and we could convert them to using a
PGAlignedBlock local variable, but I didn't bother trying to do the
analysis.
