Final stage of psort reconstruction work: replace psort.c with

a generalized module 'tuplesort.c' that can sort either HeapTuples or
IndexTuples, and is not tied to execution of a Sort node.  Clean up
memory leakages in sorting, and replace nbtsort.c's private implementation
of mergesorting with calls to tuplesort.c.

+ * tuplesort.h
+ *	  Generalized tuple sorting routines.
+ *
+ * This module handles sorting of either heap tuples or index tuples
+ * (and could fairly easily support other kinds of sortable objects,
+ * if necessary).  It works efficiently for both small and large amounts
+ * of data.  Small amounts are sorted in-memory using qsort().  Large
+ * amounts are sorted using temporary files and a standard external sort
+ * algorithm.
