Background: this came up because I noticed that pg_proc_aclcheck is
called in the scalar array op case in execExpr.c.

However grepping through the source code I see several places where a
function (including an equality op for an ordering op, like the case
we have here) gets looked up without calling pg_proc_aclcheck, but
then other places where the acl check is invoked.

In addition, I haven't been able to discern a reason for why sometimes
InvokeFunctionExecuteHook gets called with the function after lookup,
but not others.

So I'm not sure if either of these needed to be added to the equality
op/function lookup code in nodeIncrementalSort's preparePresortedCols
or not.
