Fix past pd_upper write in ginRedoRecompress()
ginRedoRecompress() replays actions over compressed segments of posting list
in-place. However, it might lead to write past pg_upper, because intermediate
state during playing the changes can take more space than both original state
and final state. This commit fixes that by refuse from in-place modification.
Instead page tail is copied once modification is started, and then it's used
as the source of original segments. Backpatch to 9.4 where posting list
compression was introduced.
