Put "excludeOnly" GIN scan keys at the end of the scankey array.

Commit 4b754d6c1 introduced the concept of an excludeOnly scan key,
which cannot select matching index entries but can reject
non-matching tuples, for example a tsquery such as '!term'.  There are
poorly-documented assumptions that such scan keys do not appear as the
first scan key.  ginNewScanKey did nothing to ensure that, however,
with the result that certain GIN index searches could go into an
infinite loop while apparently-equivalent queries with the clauses in
a different order were fine.

Fix by teaching ginNewScanKey to place all excludeOnly scan keys
after all not-excludeOnly ones.  So far as we know at present,
it might be sufficient to avoid the case where the very first
scan key is excludeOnly; but I'm not very convinced that there
aren't other dependencies on the ordering.
