Tom Lane 913bbd88dc Improve the handling of result type coercions in SQL functions.
Use the parser's standard type coercion machinery to convert the
output column(s) of a SQL function's final SELECT or RETURNING
to the type(s) they should have according to the function's declared
result type.  We'll allow any case where an assignment-level
coercion is available.  Previously, we failed unless the required
coercion was a binary-compatible one (and the documentation ignored
this, falsely claiming that the types must match exactly).

Notably, the coercion now accounts for typmods, so that cases where
a SQL function is declared to return a composite type whose columns
are typmod-constrained now behave as one would expect.  Arguably
this aspect is a bug fix, but the overall behavioral change here
seems too large to consider back-patching.

A nice side-effect is that functions can now be inlined in a
few cases where we previously failed to do so because of type
mismatches.
