Fix asymmetry in setting EquivalenceClass.ec_sortref

0452b461bc made get_eclass_for_sort_expr() always set
EquivalenceClass.ec_sortref if it's not done yet.  This leads to an asymmetric
situation when whoever first looks for the EquivalenceClass sets the
ec_sortref.  It is also counterintuitive that get_eclass_for_sort_expr()
performs modification of data structures.

This commit makes make_pathkeys_for_sortclauses_extended() responsible for
setting EquivalenceClass.ec_sortref.  Now we set the
EquivalenceClass.ec_sortref's needed to explore alternative GROUP BY ordering
specifically during building pathkeys by the list of grouping clauses.
