Andrew Gierth 48ab1fa304 pg_trgm: fix crash in 2-item picksplit
Whether from size overflow in gistSplit or from secondary splits,
picksplit is (rarely) called with exactly two items to split.

Formerly, due to special-case handling of the last item, this would
lead to access to an uninitialized cache entry; prior to PG 13 this
might have been harmless or at worst led to an incorrect union datum,
but in 13 onwards it can cause a backend crash from using an
uninitialized pointer.

Repair by removing the special case, which was deemed not to have been
appropriate anyway. Backpatch all the way, because this bug has
existed since pg_trgm was added.

Per report on IRC from user "ftzdomino". Analysis and testing by me,
patch from Alexander Korotkov.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
