The previous patch was using pageinspect--1.5.sql as a base, and then 
uses pageinspect--1.5-1.6.sql to upgrade to version 1.6.

Removing pageinspect--1.5.sql, and adding pageinspect--1.6.sql with the 
current interface will use pageinspect--1.6.sql directly where as 
existing installations will use the upgrade scripts.

Hence I don't see a reason why we should keep pageinspect--1.5.sql 
around when we can provide a clear interface description in a 
pageinspect--1.6.sql.

Ok, sounds good.
