Previously, pg_bigm allocated only a single byte (sizeof(bool)) for extra_data, an output argument used to pass additional data from gin_extract_query_bigm() to gin_bigm_consistent() and gin_bigm_triconsistent(). However, extra_data must be allocated as an array with a pointer for each key. This misallocation could lead to a segmentation fault.
This commit fixes the issue by ensuring gin_extract_query_bigm() properly allocates memory for the required number of key pointers in extra_data.
