Changes since 28.2
(http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/499B0FFA.8040608@sigaev.ru)

- fixes/changes pointed by Robert
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-02/msg00987.php)
- gingetbitmap will never throw error about lossiness of bitmap, it will return
lossy bitmap even it was a prefix search.
- remove tbm_check_tuple/tbm_has_lossy/tbm_max_non_lossy methods because they
become unused
- add new method tbm_add_page(TIDBitmap*, BlockNumber) to add the whole page to
the TIDBitmap.
