llow negative coordinate for ~> (cube, int) operator
~> (cube, int) operator was especially designed for knn-gist search. However, knn-gist supports only ascending ordering of results. Nevertheless it would be useful to support descending ordering by ~> (cube, int) operator. We provide workaround for that: negative coordinate give us inversed value of corresponding cube bound. Therefore, knn search using negative coordinate gives us an effect of descending ordering by cube bound.
