Change predecence of phrase operator.

<-> operator now have higher predecence than & (AND) operator. This change
was motivated by unexpected difference of similar queries:
'a & b <-> c'::tsquery and 'b <-> c & a'. Before first query means
(a & b) <-> c and second one - '(b <-> c) & a', now phrase operator evaluates
first.

Per suggestion from Tom Lane 32260.1465402409@sss.pgh.pa.us
