I did a bit of cleanup on the function signature. The .sql script
claimed that gist_page_items() took bytea as argument, but in reality it
was a relation name, as text. I changed it so that it takes a page image
as argument, instead of reading the block straight from the index.
Mainly to make it consistent with brin_page_items(), if it wasn't for
that precedence I might've gone either way on it.

Fixed the docs accordingly, and ran pgindent. New patch version attached.
