Fix nbtree lookahead overflow bug.

Add bounds checking to nbtree's lookahead/skip-within-a-page mechanism.
Otherwise it's possible for cases with lots of before-array-keys tuples
to overflow an int16 variable, causing the mechanism to generate an out
of bounds page offset number.

Oversight in commit 5bf748b8, which enhanced nbtree ScalarArrayOp
execution.
