Allow GiST distance function to return merely a lower-bound.
The distance function can now set *recheck = false, like index quals. The
executor will then re-check the ORDER BY expressions, and use a queue to
reorder the results on the fly.
This makes it possible to do kNN-searches on polygons and circles, which
don't store the exact value in the index, but just a bounding box.
