I've ported the B-tree TOAST test to GiST, and, as expected, it fails.
Finds non-indexed tuple for a fresh valid index.
I've implemented normalization, plz see gistFormNormalizedTuple().
But there are two problems:
1. I could not come up with a proper way to pfree() compressed value
after decompressing. See TODO in gistFormNormalizedTuple().
2. In the index tuples seem to be normalized somewhere. They do not
have to be deformed and normalized. It's not clear to me how this
happened.

Thanks!
