Fix handling Inf and Nan values in GiST pairing heap comparator Previously plain float comparison was used in GiST pairing heap. Such comparison doesn't provide proper ordering for value sets containing Inf and Nan values. This commit fixes that by usage of float8_cmp_internal(). Note, there is remaining problem with NULL distances, which are represented as Inf in pairing heap. It would be fixes in subsequent commit.
