The Incremental Sort had a couple issues, resulting in ing 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, ing the memory used
by the old one.
2. Initializing the sort state also automatically rebuilt the info about
presorted keys, ing the already initialized info. presorted_keys
was also unnecessarily reset to NULL.
