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.
