gistadjscans() is moving to gistlayerinsert. gistadjscans() must be called for 
parent of splitted page, but gistSplit doesn't know parent of current page and
gistlayerinsert return status of its action: inserted and (may be) splitted. So
we can call gistadjscans(GIST_SPLIT) in gistlayerinsert when it's need.
