Fix error when trying to delete page with half-dead left sibling.

Fix error when trying to delete page with half-dead left sibling.

The new page deletion code didn't cope with the case the target page's
right sibling was marked half-dead. It failed a sanity check which checked
that the downlinks in the parent page match the lower level, because a
half-dead page has no downlink. To cope, check for that condition, and
just give up on the deletion if it happens. The vacuum will finish the
deletion of the half-dead page when it gets there, and on the next vacuum
after that the empty can be deleted.
