It would be a bad idea to remove the page header.  You need the LSN
(someday hash indexes will obey WAL logging), and removing the page
version number seems pretty imprudent also.  I'd be inclined to
stick with the regular header and the existing "special space"
definition.  But yeah, what's in between need not necessarily be
regular tuples.
