Error out in pg_checksums on incompatible block size
pg_checksums is compiled with a given block size and has a hard
dependency to it per the way checksums are calculated via
checksum_impl.h, and trying to use the tool on a data folder which has
not the same block size would result in incorrect checksum calculations
and/or block read errors, meaning that the data folder is corrupted.
This is harmless as checksums are only checked now, but very confusing
for the user so issue an error properly if the block size used at
compilation and the block size used in the data folder do not match.
