Outdated documentation for PageHeaderData

I just noticed that part of storage.sgml was not updated when 9.3
introduced checksum (and removed pd_tli from PageHeaderData).
Here's a simple patch to fix that.
Regards.

I just fell out of committer's laser radar I guess.

Oh, I didn't see that thread. Sounds like I should subscribe on -docs.
