A rebased set of patches attached.

In the meanwhile, Robert committed the cap on the number of tapes. Since
that's in, I'm not sure if the pause/resume part of this is worthwhile.
Maybe it is.

For now, barring objections, I'm going to commit the first patch. It
seems like a worthwhile simplification in any case, especially for
Peter's Parallel tuplesort patch set.
