Tom Lane 37a795a60b Support domains over composite types.
This is the last major omission in our domains feature: you can now
make a domain over anything that's not a pseudotype.

The major complication from an implementation standpoint is that places
that might be creating tuples of a domain type now need to be prepared
to apply domain_check().  It seems better that unprepared code fail
with an error like "<type> is not composite" than that it silently fail
to apply domain constraints.  Therefore, relevant infrastructure like
get_func_result_type() and lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() has been adjusted
to treat domain-over-composite as a distinct case that unprepared code
won't recognize, rather than just transparently treating it the same
as plain composite.  This isn't a 100% solution to the possibility of
overlooked domain checks, but it catches most places.

In passing, improve typcache.c's support for domains (it can now cache
the identity of a domain's base type), and rewrite the argument handling
logic in jsonfuncs.c's populate_record[set]_worker to reduce duplicative
per-call lookups.

I believe this is code-complete so far as the core and contrib code go.
The PLs need varying amounts of work, which will be tackled in followup
patches.
