MDEV-9848: Window functions: reuse sorting and/or scanning

- Rename Window_funcs_computation to Window_funcs_computation_step
- Introduce Window_func_sort which invokes filesort and then
  invokes computation of all window functions that use this ordering.
- Expose Window functions' sort operations in EXPLAIN|ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON
