Repair double-free in SP-GIST rescan (bug #15378)

spgrescan would first reset traversalCxt, and then traverse a
potentially non-empty stack containing pointers to traversalValues
which had been allocated in those contexts, freeing them a second
time. This bug originates in commit ccd6eb49a where traversalValue was
introduced.

Repair by traversing the stack before the context reset; this isn't
ideal, since it means doing retail pfree in a context that's about to
be reset, but the freeing of a stack entry is also done in other
places in the code during the scan so it's not worth trying to
refactor it further. Regression test added.

Backpatch to 9.6 where the problem was introduced.

Per bug #15378; analysis and patch by me, originally from a report on
IRC by user velix; see also PostGIS ticket #4174; review by Alexander
Korotkov.
