This commit represents a rather heavily editorialized version of Teodor's builtin_knngist_itself-0.8.2 and builtin_knngist_proc-0.8.1 patches. I redid the opclass API to add a separate Distance method instead of turning the Consistent method into an illogical mess, fixed some bit-rot in the rbtree interfaces, and generally worked over the code style and comments. There's still no non-code documentation to speak of, but I'll work on that separately. Some contrib-module changes are also yet to come (right now, point <-> point is the only KNN-ified operator). Teodor Sigaev and Tom Lane
