Protect against torn pages when deleting GIN list pages.

To-be-deleted list pages contain no useful information, as they are being
deleted, but we must still protect the writes from being torn by a crash
after a partial write. To do that, re-initialize the pages on WAL replay.

Jeff Janes caught this with a test program to test partial writes.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
