Bug in brin_minmax_multi_distance_numeric()

Per the discussion in [1], I think we need something like

- PG_RETURN_FLOAT8(DirectFunctionCall1(numeric_float8, d));
+ PG_RETURN_DATUM(DirectFunctionCall1(numeric_float8, d));

in brin_minmax_multi_distance_numeric(). Peter was proposing
that as cosmetic cleanup, but I think it's actually a functional
bug that needs to be back-patched. It is certainly broken on
32-bit machines where the Datum result of numeric_float8 will
be a pointer, so that we will convert the numeric pointer value
to a float and return that, yielding a totally-garbage distance
value. But I think it's broken on 64-bit machines too, because
we'll be interpreting the output of numeric_float8 as a uintptr_t
and applying some unwanted conversion to make that a float.

It's not clear to me exactly what this function is used for,
but I guess the consequences would be broken BRIN indexes
on numeric columns?
