Tom Lane 1218ca9956 Add to_regtypemod function to extract typemod from a string type name.
In combination with to_regtype, this allows converting a string to
the "canonicalized" form emitted by format_type.  That usage requires
parsing the string twice, which is slightly annoying but not really
too expensive.  We considered alternatives such as returning a record
type, but that way was notationally uglier than this, and possibly
less flexible.

Like to_regtype(), we'd rather that this return NULL for any bad
input, but the underlying type-parsing logic isn't yet capable of
not throwing syntax errors.  Adjust the documentation for both
functions to point that out.

In passing, fix up a couple of nearby entries in the System Catalog
Information Functions table that had not gotten the word about our
since-v13 convention for displaying function usage examples.
