Make nodeSort.c use Datum sorts for single column sorts
Datum sorts can be significantly faster than tuple sorts, especially when
the data type being sorted is a pass-by-value type. Something in the
region of 50-70% performance improvements appear to be possible.
Just in case there's any confusion; the Datum sort is only used when the
targetlist of the Sort node contains a single column, not when there's a
single column in the sort key and multiple items in the target list.
