Tom Lane d569ccd408 btree_gist: fix NaN handling in float4/float8 opclasses.
The float4 and float8 btree_gist opclasses compared keys with raw C
operators (==, <, >).  IEEE 754 makes every comparison involving NaN
false, so GiST disagreed with the regular float comparison operators
and with the btree opclass, which uses float[4|8]_cmp_internal()
(so that all NaNs are equal and NaN sorts after every non-NaN value).

In addition, the penalty and distance functions were not careful
about NaNs, and the penalty functions could also misbehave for IEEE
infinities.  Wrong answers from the penalty functions would probably
do no more than make the index non-optimal, but the distance mistakes
were visible from SQL.

To fix, make the comparison functions rely on the same NaN-aware
comparison functions the core code uses, and rewrite the penalty
and distance functions to follow the rules that NaNs are equal
but maximally far away from non-NaNs.  The penalty_num() code was
formerly shared between integral and float cases, but I chose to make
two copies so that the integral cases are not saddled with the extra
logic for NaNs and infinities/overflows.  I also rewrote it as static
inline functions instead of an unreadable and uncommented macro.

The float penalty functions were previously unreached by the
regression tests, so add new test cases to exercise them.

There's no on-disk format change, but users who have NaN entries
in a btree_gist index would be well advised to reindex it.

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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
