Add predicate locking for GiST

Add page-level predicate locking, due to gist's code organization, patch seems
close to trivial: add check before page changing, add predicate lock before page
scanning.  Although choosing right place to check is not simple: it should not
be called during index build, it should support insertion of new downlink and so
on.
