Updated and rebased patches attached. I used the injection point name
"btree-gist-sorted-build".

I added the same injection point here, too, since the functionalitly is
already employed in btree_gist regression tests "partition" and
"without_overlap".

Except the suggestions for PG_FREE_IF_COPY(), this updated patch set
reflects all the comments from Andrey above.

Playing with these suggested changes also revealed some bugs (i
confused some of the comparator functions for macaddr*), so thanks
again for the review!

Thanks,
