Don't reference out-of-bounds array elements in brin_minmax_multi.c
The primary fix here is to fix has_matching_range() so it does not
reference ranges->values[-1] when nranges == 0. Similar problems existed
in AssertCheckRanges() too. It does not look like any of these problems
could lead to a crash as the array in question is at the end of the Ranges
struct, and values[-1] is memory that belongs to other fields in the
struct. However, let's get rid of these rather unsafe coding practices.
In passing, I (David) adjusted some comments to try to make it more clear
what some of the fields are for in the Ranges struct. I had to study the
code to find out what nsorted was for as I couldn't tell from the
comments.
