Are these two hunks required to be kept in sync?

If so, I am wondering what is the right approach to make sure they
are.  The definition of MIDX_WRITE_BITMAP_* flag bits in midx.h and
BITMAP_OPT_* flag bits in write_bitmap_index enum are distinct two
sets, and we need a way to somehow convert between them back and
forth if we really wanted to ensure that these "default" values are
kept in sync automatically.

The reason I ask is mostly because I do not know offhand, and I
would imagine that it would be hard for third-parties to verify, if
these are only two places that need to be updated in order for
lookup table extensions to be written by default, when somebody
new wants to further update the default.
