Fix memory leak in Incremental Sort rescans
The Incremental Sort had a couple issues, resulting in leaking memory
during rescans, possibly triggering OOM. The code had a couple of
related flaws:
1. During rescans, the sort states were reset but then also set to NULL
(despite the comment saying otherwise). ExecIncrementalSort then
sees NULL and initializes a new sort state, leaking the memory used
by the old one.
2. Initializing the sort state also automatically rebuilt the info about
presorted keys, leaking the already initialized info. presorted_keys
was also unnecessarily reset to NULL.
Patch by James Coleman, based on patches by Laurenz Albe and Tom Lane.
Backpatch to 13, where Incremental Sort was introduced.
