Nadav Har'El c6f2afb93d Merge 'cql3: Allow to skip EQ restricted columns in ORDER BY' from Jan Ciołek
In queries like:
```cql
SELECT * FROM t WHERE p = 0 AND c1 = 0 ORDER BY (c1 ASC, c2 ASC)
```
we can skip the requirement to specify ordering for `c1` column.

The `c1` column is restricted by an `EQ` restriction, so it can have
at most one value anyway, there is no need to sort.

This commit makes it possible to write just:
```cql
SELECT * FROM t WHERE p = 0 AND c1 = 0 ORDER BY (c2 ASC)
```

I reorganized the ordering code, I feel that it's now clearer and easier to understand.
It's possible to only introduce a small change to the existing code, but I feel like it becomes a bit too messy.
I tried it out on the [`orderby_disorder_small`](https://github.com/cvybhu/scylla/commits/orderby_disorder_small) branch.

The diff is a bit messy because I moved all ordering functions to one place,
it's better to read [select_statement.cc](https://github.com/cvybhu/scylla/blob/orderby_disorder/cql3/statements/select_statement.cc#L1495-L1658) lines 1495-1658 directly.

In the new code it would also be trivial to allow specifying columns in any order, we would just have to sort them.
For now I commented out the code needed to do that, because the point of this PR was to fix #2247.
Allowing this would require some more work changing the existing tests.

Fixes: #2247

Closes #9518
