Lookup the correct ordering for parallel GIN builds

When building a tuplesort during parallel GIN builds, the function
incorrectly looked up the default B-Tree operator, not the function
associated with the GIN opclass (through GIN_COMPARE_PROC).

Fixed by using the same logic as initGinState(), and the other place
in parallel GIN builds.

This could cause two types of issues. First, a data type might not have
a B-Tree opclass, in which case the PrepareSortSupportFromOrderingOp()
fails with an ERROR. Second, a data type might have both B-Tree and GIN
opclasses, defining order/equality in different ways. This could lead to
logical corruption in the index.

Backpatch to 18, where parallel GIN builds were introduced.
