I've attached a patch which I think improves the code in
gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit() so that there's no longer a shadowed
variable. I also benchmarked this method in a tight loop and can
measure no performance change from getting the loop index this way vs
the old way.
This only fixes one of the #5s I mentioned. I ended up scraping my
idea to fix the shadowed 'i' in get_qual_for_range() as it became too
complex. The idea was to use list_cell_number() to find out how far
we looped in the forboth() loop. It turned out that 'i' was used in
the subsequent loop in "j = i;". The fix just became too complex and I
didn't think it was worth the risk of breaking something just to get
rid of the showed 'i'.
