Add missing inequality searches to rbtree

PostgreSQL contains the implementation of the red-black tree. The red-black
tree is the ordered data structure, and one of its advantages is the ability
to do inequality searches. This commit adds rbt_find_less() and
rbt_find_great() functions implementing these searches. While these searches
aren't yet used in the core code, they might be useful for extensions.
