Commit 36a35c55 turned the interface between ginPlaceToPage and
its subroutines in gindatapage.c and ginentrypage.c into a royal mess:
page-update critical sections were started in one place and finished in
another place not even in the same file, and the very same subroutine
might return having started a critical section or not.  Subsequent patches
band-aided over some of the problems with this design by making things
even messier.

One user-visible resulting problem is memory leaks caused by the need for
the subroutines to allocate storage that would survive until ginPlaceToPage
calls XLogInsert (as reported by Julien Rouhaud).  This would not typically
be noticeable during retail index updates.  It could be visible in a GIN
index build, in the form of memory consumption swelling to several times
the commanded maintenance_work_mem.

Another rather nasty problem is that in the internal-page-splitting code
path, we would clear the child page's GIN_INCOMPLETE_SPLIT flag well before
entering the critical section that it's supposed to be cleared in; a
failure in between would leave the index in a corrupt state.  There were
also assorted coding-rule violations with little immediate consequence but
possible long-term hazards, such as beginning an XLogInsert sequence before
entering a critical section, or calling elog(DEBUG) inside a critical
section.

To fix, redefine the API between ginPlaceToPage() and its subroutines
by splitting the subroutines into two parts.  The "beginPlaceToPage"
subroutine does what can be done outside a critical section, including
full computation of the result pages into temporary storage when we're
going to split the target page.  The "execPlaceToPage" subroutine is called
within a critical section established by ginPlaceToPage(), and it handles
the actual page update in the non-split code path.  The critical section,
as well as the XLOG insertion call sequence, are both now always started
and finished in ginPlaceToPage().  Also, make ginPlaceToPage() create and
work in a short-lived memory context to eliminate the leakage problem.
(Since a short-lived memory context had been getting created in the most
common code path in the subroutines, this shouldn't cause any noticeable
performance penalty; we're just moving the overhead up one call level.)

In passing, fix a bunch of comments that had gone unmaintained throughout
all this klugery.
