Fix handling of NULL distances in KNN-GiST

In order to implement NULL LAST semantic GiST previously assumed distance to
the NULL value to be Inf.  However, our distance functions can return Inf and
NaN for non-null values.  In such cases, NULL LAST semantic appears to be
broken.  This commit fixes that by introducing separate array of null flags for
distances.

Backpatch to all supported versions.
