Fix optimization hazard in gram.y's makeOrderedSetArgs(), redux. 

It appears that commit cf63c641c, which intended to prevent
misoptimization of the result-building step in makeOrderedSetArgs,
didn't go far enough: buildfarm member hornet's version of xlc
is now optimizing back to the old, broken behavior in which
list_length(directargs) is fetched only after list_concat() has
changed that value.  I'm not entirely convinced whether that's
an undeniable compiler bug or whether it can be justified by a
sufficiently aggressive interpretation of C sequence points.
So let's just change the code to make it harder to misinterpret.

Back-patch to all supported versions, just in case.
