columns of the grouping clause to avoid redundant sorts. The optimizer
is not currently capable of doing this, so this patch implements a
simple hack in the analysis phase (transformGroupClause): if any
subset of the GROUP BY clause matches a prefix of the ORDER BY list,
that prefix is moved to the front of the GROUP BY clause. This
shouldn't change the semantics of the query, and allows a redundant
sort to be avoided for queries like "GROUP BY a, b ORDER BY b".

Patch by Joachim Wieland, somewhat reworked for clarity and portability.

This is consistent with the standard definition of fopen().

In particular, ensure that enlargement of the memtuples[] array doesn't
fall foul of MaxAllocSize when work_mem is very large, and don't bother
enlarging it if that would force an immediate switch into 'tape' mode anyway.

we'll go over to disk-based sort if we reach that limit.
This fixes Stefan Kaltenbrunner's observation that sorting can suffer an
'invalid memory alloc request size' failure when sort_mem is set large
enough.  It's unfortunately not so easy to fix in 8.1 ...

Wouldn't it be better to use the UINT64CONST macro?  I realize this
file is Windows-only, but we do worry about more than one compiler
on that platform.
