Revert "nbtree: Remove useless row compare arg."

This reverts commit 54c6ea8c81db718508eeea50991d3c1c5dff54a5.

Further analysis has shown that the forcenonrequired row compare
behavior is in fact necessary, despite the new restrictions on
RowCompares imposed by _bt_set_startikey following commit 5f4d98d4.
