pgsql: Show sort ordering options in EXPLAIN output.

Show sort ordering options in EXPLAIN output.

Up to now, EXPLAIN has contented itself with printing the sort expressions
in a Sort or Merge Append plan node. This patch improves that by
annotating the sort keys with COLLATE, DESC, USING, and/or NULLS FIRST/LAST
whenever nondefault sort ordering options are used. The output is now a
reasonably close approximation of an ORDER BY clause equivalent to the
plan's ordering.

Marius Timmer, Lukas Kreft, and Arne Scheffer; reviewed by Mike Blackwell.
Some additional hacking by me.
