BRIN minmax-multi indexes
Adds BRIN opclasses similar to the existing minmax, except that instead of summarizing the page range into a single [min,max] range, the summary consists of multiple ranges and/or points, allowing gaps. This allows more efficient handling of data with poor correlation to physical location within the table and/or outlier values, for which the regular minmax opclassed tend to work poorly. It's possible to specify the number of values kept for each page range, either as a single point or an interval boundary. CREATE TABLE t (a int); CREATE INDEX ON t USING brin (a int4_minmax_multi_ops(values_per_range=16)); When building the summary, the values are combined into intervals with the goal to minimize the "covering" (sum of interval lengths), using a support procedure computing distance between two values. Bump catversion, due to various catalog changes.
