Replace inefficient _bt_invokestrat calls with direct calls to the

appropriate btree three-way comparison routine.  Not clear why the
three-way comparison routines were being used in some paths and not
others in btree --- incomplete changes by someone long ago, maybe?
Anyway, this makes for a nice speedup in CREATE INDEX.
