Hmm. Actually, given that sort_bounded_heap() is only conditionally
invoked, *both* of the state updates it makes are bogus. But I think
they should both be done at the call site in tuplesort_performsort.
(The state->status update already is, which is why it works at all.)
Setting it at conclusion is correct, I think, since if we ever changed
the code to abandon TSS_BOUNDED state in the face of unexpected memory
growth, it would be wrong to have set it in make_bounded_sort.
