Fix planning of btree index scans using ScalarArrayOpExpr quals. In commit 9e8da0f75731aaa7605cf4656c21ea09e84d2eb1, I improved btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively, so that constructs like "indexedcol IN (list)" could be supported by index-only scans. Using such a qual results in multiple scans of the index, under-the-hood. I went to some lengths to ensure that this still produces rows in index order ... but I failed to recognize that if a higher-order index column is lacking an equality constraint, rescans can produce out-of-order data from that column. Tweak the planner to not expect sorted output in that case. Per trouble report from Robert McGehee.
