Document and clean up gistsplit.c.
Improve comments, rename some variables and functions, slightly simplify a couple of APIs, in an attempt to make this code readable by people other than its original author. Even though this is essentially just cosmetic, back-patch to all active branches, because otherwise it's going to make back-patching future fixes in this file very painful.
