ST_ClusterWithin crashes backend

Description

The UF_ordered_by_cluster function assumes that UF_find will fully compress all paths, ie after a call to UF_find(uf, i), we can say that uf->clusters[i] = UF_find(uf, i).

It's possible to end up with a situation where this does not hold; I've run across one in an input set of 24,000 points. The consequence of this is that the combine_geometries routine will produce more geometries than expected, and will overflow a block of allocated memory.

I'll commit a fix to (a) make sure that UF_find fully compresses paths, resolving the root cause of the problem, and (b) include a guard in combine_geometries so that we can return an error instead of overflowing.
