Fix misleading comment in tuplesort.c
A comment in tuplesort.c was claiming that the code was defining INITIAL_MEMTUPSIZE so that it *does not* exceed ALLOCSET_SEPARATE_THRESHOLD, but the code actually ensures that we purposefully *do* exceed ALLOCSET_SEPARATE_THRESHOLD for the initial allocation of the tuples array, as per reasons detailed in the commentary of grow_memtuples(). Also, there's not much need to repeat the mention about ALLOCSET_SEPARATE_THRESHOLD in each location where INITIAL_MEMTUPSIZE is used, so remove those comments.
