Hi,

This is a follow-up to b45242fd30ff [1]. Previously we separated
varlena.c into varlena.c and bytea.c. This patch makes
bytea_sortsupport() independent from varlena.c code as it was proposed
before [2][3]. The benefits of this change are summarized in the
commit message that I included to the patch.

As always, your feedback is most appreciated.
