29f6a959c added a bump allocator type for efficient compact allocations. Here we make use of this for non-bounded tuplesorts to store tuples. This is very space efficient when storing narrow tuples due to bump.c not having chunk headers. This means we can fit more tuples in work_mem before spilling to disk, or perform an in-memory sort touching fewer cacheline.
