Fix some more bugs in GIN's WAL replay logic.

Browse Source 
In commit 4016bdef8aded77b4903c457050622a5a1815c16 I fixed a bunch of
ginxlog.c bugs having to do with not handling XLogReadBuffer failures
correctly.  However, in ginRedoUpdateMetapage and ginRedoDeleteListPages,
I unaccountably thought that failure to read the metapage would be
impossible and just put in an elog(PANIC) call.  This is of course wrong:
failure is exactly what will happen if the index got dropped (or rebuilt)
between creation of the WAL record and the crash we're trying to recover
from.  I believe this explains Nicholas Wilson's recent report of these
errors getting reached.

Also, fix memory leak in forgetIncompleteSplit.  This wasn't of much
concern when the code was written, but in a long-running standby server
page split records could be expected to accumulate indefinitely.

Back-patch to 8.4 --- before that, GIN didn't have a metapage.
