Fix BRIN free space computations
A bug in the original free space computation made it possible to
return a page which wasn't actually able to fit the item. Since the
insertion code isn't prepared to deal with PageAddItem failing, a PANIC
resulted ("failed to add BRIN tuple [to new page]"). Add a macro to
encapsulate the correct computation, and use it in
brin_getinsertbuffer's callers before calling that routine, to raise an
early error.
I became aware of the possiblity of a problem in this area while working
on ccc4c074994d734. There's no archived discussion about it, but it's
easy to reproduce a problem in the unpatched code with something like
CREATE TABLE t (a text);
CREATE INDEX ti ON t USING brin (a) WITH (pages_per_range=1);
for length in `seq 8000 8196`
do
psql -f - <
