GIN index build's allocatedMemory counter needs to be long, not uint32.

GIN index build's allocatedMemory counter needs to be long, not uint32. Else, in a 64-bit machine with maintenance_work_mem set to above 4Gb, the counter overflows and we never recognize having reached the maintenance_work_mem limit. I believe this explains out-of-memory failure recently reported by Sean Davis. This is a bug, so backpatch to 8.2.
