Pushed with that change and some other mostly-cosmetic tweaking.

One not too cosmetic fix was that gbt_uuid_union was declared with the
wrong return type. That's probably mostly harmless given that core GiST
pays little attention to the declared signatures of the support functions,
but it's not a good thing. This would've been caught if anyone had
thought to run the amvalidate functions on the updated extension.
I think I will go and put a call to that into the regression tests of
all the contrib modules that define new opclasses.
