   ## Rationale for this change

   One external sort query will panic due to an assertion failure
   
   ### Reproducer
   Compile and run `datafusion-cli` commit 46f40245
   ```
   > set datafusion.execution.sort_spill_reservation_bytes = 0;
   > select * from generate_series(1, 10000000) as t1(v1) order by v1;
   
   thread 'tokio-runtime-worker' panicked at 
datafusion/physical-plan/src/sorts/sort.rs:406:9:
   assertion failed: self.in_mem_batches_sorted
   note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
   ```
   
   For background knowledge for external sort, check the doc in 
https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/46f4024577f4e13b79d8739849ecf51af5ddc7c2/datafusion/physical-plan/src/sorts/sort.rs#L80
   Now a single field `in_mem_batches` is used to represent buffered data in 
different stage: during different time, it can be interpreted as either 
unordered input batch, or globally sorted batch, a state flag 
`self.in_mem_batches_sorted` is used to represent its sorted-ness and do extra 
sanity checks.
   This approach has poor understandability and is also error-prone, and 
actually triggered one edge case assertion failure.
   Note the execution logic is not wrong, the issue is this flag is set too 
late.
   
   To also address https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/15372, this PR 
did a small refactor to make the related logic more understandable:
   
   ## What changes are included in this PR?
   
   <!--
   There is no need to duplicate the description in the issue here but it is 
sometimes worth providing a summary of the individual changes in this PR.
   -->
   refactor to let `ExternalSorter.in_mem_batches` to only hold unsorted input 
batches (instead of representing both sorted and unsorted batches during 
different execution stage, as it's doing before the PR)
   
   ## Are these changes tested?
   
   <!--
   We typically require tests for all PRs in order to:
   1. Prevent the code from being accidentally broken by subsequent changes
   2. Serve as another way to document the expected behavior of the code
   
   If tests are not included in your PR, please explain why (for example, are 
they covered by existing tests)?
   -->
   A unit test was added to cover the edge case that previously triggered an 
assertion failure.
   
   ## Are there any user-facing changes?
   
   <!--
   If there are user-facing changes then we may require documentation to be 
updated before approving the PR.
   -->
   
   <!--
   If there are any breaking changes to public APIs, please add the `api 
change` label.
   -->
   No.
