BRIN minmax-multi indexes

Adds BRIN opclasses similar to the existing minmax, except that instead
of summarizing the page range into a single [min,max] range, the summary
consists of multiple ranges and/or points, allowing gaps. This allows
more efficient handling of data with poor correlation to physical
location within the table and/or outlier values, for which the regular
minmax opclassed tend to work poorly.

It's possible to specify the number of values kept for each page range,
either as a single point or an interval boundary.

  CREATE TABLE t (a int);
  CREATE INDEX ON t
   USING brin (a int4_minmax_multi_ops(values_per_range=16));

When building the summary, the values are combined into intervals with
the goal to minimize the "covering" (sum of interval lengths), using a
support procedure computing distance between two values.

Bump catversion, due to various catalog changes.
