Prevent GIN deleted pages from being reclaimed too early
When GIN vacuum deletes a posting tree page, it assumes that no concurrent searchers can access it, thanks to ginStepRight() locking two pages at once. However, since 9.4 searches can skip parts of posting trees descending from the root. That leads to the risk that page is deleted and reclaimed before concurrent search can access it. This commit prevents the risk of above by waiting for every transaction, which might wait to reference this page, to finish. Due to binary compatibility we can't change GinPageOpaqueData to store corresponding transaction id. Instead we reuse page header pd_prune_xid field, which is unused in index pages.
