Fix ordering issue with WAL operations in GIN fast insert path

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.
