nbtree: Remove useless 'strat' local variable.

Remove a local variable that was used to avoid overwriting strat_total
with the = operator strategy when a >= operator strategy key was already
included in the initial positioning/insertion scan keys by _bt_first
(for backwards scans it would have to be a <= key that was included).
_bt_first's strat_total local variable now simply tracks the operator
strategy of the final scan key that was included in the scan's insertion
scan key (barring the case where the !used_all_subkeys row compare path
adjusts strat_total in its own way).

_bt_first already treated >= keys (or <= keys) as = keys for initial
positioning purposes.  There is no good reason to remember that that was
what happened; no later _bt_first step cares about the distinction.
Note, in particular, that the insertion scan key's 'nextkey' and
'backward' fields will be initialized the same way regardless.
