Alexander Korotkov 9f29279899 Fix deadlock between ginDeletePage() and ginStepRight()
When ginDeletePage() is about to delete page it locks its left sibling to revise
the rightlink.  So, it locks pages in right to left manner.  Int he same time
ginStepRight() locks pages in left to right manner, and that could cause a
deadlock.

This commit makes ginScanToDelete() keep exclusive lock on left siblings of
currently investigated path.  That elimites need to relock left sibling in
ginDeletePage().  Thus, deadlock with ginStepRight() can't happen anymore.

and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

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
