    Fix ordering issue with WAL operations in GIN fast insert path
    
    Contrary to what is documented in src/backend/access/transam/README,
    ginHeapTupleFastInsert() had a few ordering issues with the way it does
    its WAL operations when inserting items in its fast path.
    
    First, when using a separate list, XLogBeginInsert() was being always
    called before START_CRIT_SECTION(), and in this case a second thing was
    wrong when merging lists, as an exclusive lock was taken on the tail
    page *before* calling XLogBeginInsert().  Finally, when inserting items
    into a tail page, the order of XLogBeginInsert() and
    START_CRIT_SECTION() was reversed.  This commit addresses all these
    issues by moving the calls of XLogBeginInsert() after all the pages
    logged are locked and pinned, within a critical section.
