Inline the fast path of plpgsql's exec_cast_value().

In the common case where this function isn't actually asked to perform
any type conversion, there's nothing it has to do beyond comparing the
arguments.  Arrange for that part to be inlined into callers, with the
slower path remaining out-of-line.  This seems to be good for several
percent speedup on simple cases, with only minimal code bloat.
