gistendscan() forgot to free so->giststate.
This oversight led to a massive memory leak --- upwards of 10KB per tuple
--- during creation-time verification of an exclusion constraint based on a
GIST index.  In most other scenarios it'd just be a leak of 10KB that would
be recovered at end of query, so not too significant; though perhaps the
leak would be noticeable in a situation where a GIST index was being used
in a nestloop inner indexscan.  In any case, it's a real leak of long
standing, so patch all supported branches.  Per report from Harald Fuchs.
