Use GetXLogInsertEndRecPtr in gistGetFakeLSN

The function used GetXLogInsertRecPtr() to generate the fake LSN. Most
of the time this is the same as what XLogInsert() would return, and so
it works fine with the XLogFlush() call. But if the last record ends at
a page boundary, GetXLogInsertRecPtr() returns LSN pointing after the
page header. In such case XLogFlush() fails with errors like this:

  ERROR: xlog flush request 0/01BD2018 is not satisfied --- flushed only to 0/01BD2000

Such failures are very hard to trigger, particularly outside aggressive
test scenarios.

Fixed by introducing GetXLogInsertEndRecPtr(), returning the correct LSN
without skipping the header. This is the same as GetXLogInsertRecPtr(),
except that it calls XLogBytePosToEndRecPtr().

Initial investigation by me, root cause identified by Andres Freund.

This is a long-standing bug in gistGetFakeLSN(), probably introduced by
c6b92041d38 in PG13. Backpatch to all supported versions.
