Fix two distinct errors in creation of GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE xlog records.
In practice these mistakes were always masked when full_page_writes was on,
because XLogInsert would always choose to log the full page, and then
ginRedoInsertListPage wouldn't try to do anything. But with full_page_writes
off a WAL replay failure was certain.
The GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE record type could probably be eliminated entirely
in favor of using XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE, but I refrained from doing that now
since it would have required a significantly more invasive patch.
In passing do a little bit of code cleanup, including making the accounting
for free space on GIN list pages more precise. (This wasn't a bug as the
errors were always in the conservative direction.)
Per report from Simon. Back-patch to 8.4 which contains the identical code.
