Description
Proposal
Add a collector for tables with corrupt indexes. This has been causing some issues when executing certain update queries. It would be nice to proactively be informed of indexes that are corrupt, before we try to update data and notice this issue.
If you agree on this idea, I can add a PR to add a collector with this functionality.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing existing postgres_exporter collectors and how they expose PostgreSQL health metrics; done means a collector proactively reports tables with corrupt indexes and includes coverage for that behavior.
