Done. Now GIN counts number of pending tuples and pages and stores they on
metapage. Index cleanup could start during normal insertion in two cases:
- number of pending tuples is too high to keep guaranteed non-lossy tidbitmap
- pending page's content doesn't fit into work_mem.

BTW, gincostestimate could use that information for cost estimation, but is
index opening and metapge reading in amcostestimate acceptable?
