Use bump memory context for tuplesorts

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.
