Tomas Vondra 497fc92086 Fix minmax-multi on infinite date/timestamp values
Make sure that infinite values in date/timestamp columns are treated as
if in infinite distance. Infinite values should not be merged with other
values, leaving them as outliers. The code however returned distance 0
in this case, so that infinite values were merged first. While this does
not break the index (i.e. it still produces correct query results), it
may make it much less efficient.

We don't need explicit handling of infinite date/timestamp values when
calculating distances, because those values are represented as extreme
but regular values (e.g. INT64_MIN/MAX for the timestamp type).

We don't need an exact distance, just a value that is much larger than
distanced between regular values. With the added cast to double values,
we can simply subtract the values.

The regression test queries a value in the "gap" and checks the range
was properly eliminated by the BRIN index.

This only affects minmax-multi indexes on timestamp/date columns with
infinite values, which is not very common in practice. The affected
indexes may need to be rebuilt.

Backpatch to 14, where minmax-multi indexes were introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
