Commit d2d8a229bc introduced Incremental Sort, but it was considered only in create_ordered_paths() as an alternative to regular Sort. There are many other places that require sorted input and might benefit from considering Incremental Sort too. This patch modifies a number of those places, but not all. The concern is that just adding Incremental Sort to any place that already adds Sort may increase the number of paths considered, negatively affecting planning time, without any benefit. So we've taken a more conservative approach, based on analysis of which places do affect a set of queries that did seem practical. This means some less common queries may not benefit from Incremental Sort yet.
