DRILL-5080: Memory-managed version of external sort
Please see the DRILL-5080 JIRA, and subtasks, for reasons for revision,
design spec and list of changes. Basically the idea is to beef up the logic in
the external sort to ensure that it operates within a defined memory budget. In
order to do the work, the code was first refactored into smaller, easier to
digest functions.
As a precaution, the original external sort code is unchanged. The
"managed" version was created as a new operator that must be enabled. Reviewers
can compare the old and new versions. Users can continue to favor the old
version until the new version is fully ready for prime-time.
This PR covers the changes to the external sort itself. Tests for this
operator require the test framework in DRILL-5126 and the mock data source in
DRILL-5152. Tests for this operator will be issued as a separate PR once those
two dependencies are committed.
Until then, the new operator is disabled by default. It can be enabled using
```
drill.sort.external.disable_managed: false
```
