Support ORDER BY ... NULLS FIRST/LAST, and add ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LAST

per-column options for btree indexes.  The planner's support for this is still
pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with
nondefault ordering options.  The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too.
I'll work on improving that stuff later.

Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be
rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some
btree opclass.  This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that
doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.
