Making the BRIN code available as a separate extension could be done,
but it'd require exporting quite some postgis functions.

After a quick check, that'd be at least gserialized_datum_get_box2df_p
and the box2df and gidx predicate functions like box2df_contains,
box2df_within, gidx_contains...

I wonder if it could also cause problems, in case postgis would need to
add the same operators that BRIN support needs.  That'd of course not be
in a near future.
