Fix handling of NULL distances in KNN-GiST
In order to implement NULL LAST semantic GiST previously assumed distance to
the NULL value to be Inf. However, our distance functions can return Inf and
NaN for non-null values. In such cases, NULL LAST semantic appears to be
broken. This commit fixes that by introducing separate array of null flags for
distances.
Backpatch to all supported versions.
