gbt_ts_cmp(), gbt_time_cmp_sort() and gbt_date_cmp_sort() still have the
above issue, they still compare "upper" for no good reason.

If an abbreviated key is not useful, just don't define abbrev functions
and don't set SortSupport->abbrev_converter in the first place.

Better to not set the 'abbrev_converter' function in the first place. Or
would it be better to cast the float8 to float4 if SIZEOF_DATUM == 4?
