    Re-allow testing of GiST buffered builds. · 78c0b6ed

    Commit 16fa9b2b broke the ability to reliably test GiST buffered builds,
    because it caused sorted builds to be done instead if sortsupport is
    available, regardless of any attempt to override that.  While a would-be
    test case could try to work around that by choosing an opclass that has
    no sortsupport function, coverage would be silently lost the moment
    someone decides it'd be a good idea to add a sortsupport function.
    
    Hence, rearrange the logic in gistbuild() so that if "buffering = on"
    is specified in CREATE INDEX, we will use that method, sortsupport or no.
    
    Also document the interaction between sorting and the buffering
    parameter, as 16fa9b2b failed to do.
    
    (Note that in fact we still lack any test coverage of buffered builds,
    but this is a prerequisite to adding a non-fragile test.)
