Re-allow testing of GiST buffered builds.
Commit 16fa9b2b3 broke the ability to reliably test GiST buffered builds, because it caused sorted builds to be done instead if sortsupport is available, regardless of any attempt to override that. While a would-be test case could try to work around that by choosing an opclass that has no sortsupport function, coverage would be silently lost the moment someone decides it'd be a good idea to add a sortsupport function. Hence, rearrange the logic in gistbuild() so that if "buffering = on" is specified in CREATE INDEX, we will use that method, sortsupport or no. Also document the interaction between sorting and the buffering parameter, as 16fa9b2b3 failed to do. (Note that in fact we still lack any test coverage of buffered builds, but this is a prerequisite to adding a non-fragile test.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3249980.1602532990@sss.pgh.pa.us
