Tom Lane 9bd27b7c9e Extend EXPLAIN to support output in XML or JSON format.
There are probably still some adjustments to be made in the details
of the output, but this gets the basic structure in place.

* tuplesort.h
* Generalized tuple sorting routines.
*
* This module handles sorting of heap tuples, index tuples, or single
* Datums (and could 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.

* supplied. Also, the HeapTuple case actually stores MinimalTuples,
* which means it doesn't preserve the "system columns" (tuple identity and
* transaction visibility info). The IndexTuple case does preserve all
* the header fields of an index entry. In the HeapTuple case we can
* save some cycles by passing and returning the tuples in TupleTableSlots,
* rather than forming actual HeapTuples (which'd have to be converted to
* MinimalTuples).
*
* The IndexTuple case is itself broken into two subcases, one for btree
* indexes and one for hash indexes; the latter variant actually sorts
* the tuples by hash code. The API is the same except for the "begin"
* routine.
*
* Yet another slightly different interface supports sorting bare Datums.
