Avoid copying index tuples when building an index.

The previous code, perhaps out of concern for avoid memory leaks, formed
the tuple in one memory context and then copied it to another memory
context.  However, this doesn't appear to be necessary, since
index_form_tuple and the functions it calls take precautions against
leaking memory.  In my testing, building the tuple directly inside the
sort context shaves several percent off the index build time.
Rearrange things so we do that.

Patch by me.  Review by Amit Kapila, Tom Lane, Andres Freund.
