 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *	Incremental sort is an optimized variant of multikey sort for cases
 *	when the input is already sorted by a prefix of the sort keys.  For
 *	example when a sort by (key1, key2 ... keyN) is requested, and the
 *	input is already sorted by (key1, key2 ... keyM), M < N, we can
 *	divide the input into groups where keys (key1, ... keyM) are equal,
 *	and only sort on the remaining columns.
 *
 *	Consider the following example.  We have input tuples consisting of
 *	two integers (X, Y) already presorted by X, while it's required to
 *	sort them by both X and Y.  Let input tuples be following.
 *
 *	(1, 5)
 *	(1, 2)
 *	(2, 9)
 *	(2, 1)
 *	(2, 5)
 *	(3, 3)
 *	(3, 7)
 *
 *	An incremental sort algorithm would split the input into the following
 *	groups, which have equal X, and then sort them by Y individually:
 *
 *		(1, 5) (1, 2)
 *		(2, 9) (2, 1) (2, 5)
 *		(3, 3) (3, 7)
 *
 *	After sorting these groups and putting them altogether, we would get
 *	the following result which is sorted by X and Y, as requested:
 *
 *	(1, 2)
 *	(1, 5)
 *	(2, 1)
 *	(2, 5)
 *	(2, 9)
 *	(3, 3)
 *	(3, 7)
 *
 *	Incremental sort may be more efficient than plain sort, particularly
 *	on large datasets, as it reduces the amount of data to sort at once,
 *	making it more likely it fits into work_mem (eliminating the need to
 *	spill to disk).  But the main advantage of incremental sort is that
 *	it can start producing rows early, before sorting the whole dataset,
 *	which is a significant benefit especially for queries with LIMIT.
 *
 *	The algorithm we've implemented here is modified from the theoretical
 *	base described above by operating in two different modes:
 *	  - Fetching a minimum number of tuples without checking prefix key
 *	    group membership and sorting on all columns when safe.
 *	  - Fetching all tuples for a single prefix key group and sorting on
 *	    solely the unsorted columns.
 *	We always begin in the first mode, and employ a heuristic to switch
 *	into the second mode if we believe it's beneficial.
 *
 *	Sorting incrementally can potentially use less memory, avoid fetching
 *	and sorting all tuples in the dataset, and begin returning tuples before
 *	the entire result set is available.
 *
 *	The hybrid mode approach allows us to optimize for both very small
 *	groups (where the overhead of a new tuplesort is high) and very large
 *	groups (where we can lower cost by not having to sort on already sorted
 *	columns), albeit at some extra cost while switching between modes.
