Fix representation of SORT_TYPE_STILL_IN_PROGRESS.
It turns out that the code did indeed rely on a zeroed TuplesortInstrumentation.sortMethod field to indicate "this worker never did anything", although it seems the issue only comes up during certain race-condition-y cases. Hence, rearrange the TuplesortMethod enum to restore SORT_TYPE_STILL_IN_PROGRESS to having the value zero, and add some comments reinforcing that that isn't optional. Also future-proof a loop over the possible values of the enum. sizeof(bits32) happened to be the correct limit value, but only by purest coincidence. Per buildfarm and local investigation.
