    Add gin_clean_pending_list function to clean up GIN pending list · 7f46eaf0

    This function cleans up the pending list of the GIN index by
    moving entries in it to the main GIN data structure in bulk.
    It returns the number of pages cleaned up from the pending list.
    
    This function is useful, for example, when the pending list
    needs to be cleaned up *quickly* to improve the performance of
    the search using GIN index. VACUUM can do the same thing, too,
    but it may take days to run on a large table.
