Tom Lane 978129f28e Document get_call_result_type() and friends; mark TypeGetTupleDesc()
and RelationNameGetTupleDesc() as deprecated; remove uses of the
latter in the contrib library.  Along the way, clean up crosstab()
code and documentation a little.

Neil Conway eda6dd32d1 GiST improvements:
- make sure we always invoke user-supplied GiST methods in a short-lived
  memory context. This means the backend isn't exposed to any memory leaks
  that be in those methods (in fact, it is probably a net loss for most
  GiST methods to bother manually freeing memory now). This also means
  we can do away with a lot of ugly manual memory management in the
  GiST code itself.

- keep the current page of a GiST index scan pinned, rather than doing a
  ReadBuffer() for each tuple produced by the scan. Since ReadBuffer() is
  expensive, this is a perf. win

- implement dead tuple killing for GiST indexes (which is easy to do, now
  that we keep a pin on the current scan page). Now all the builtin indexes
  implement dead tuple killing.

- cleanup a lot of ugly code in GiST
