Cleanup around json_to_record/json_to_recordset

Set function parameter names and defaults. Add jsonb versions (which the
code already provided for so the actual new code is trivial). Add jsonb
regression tests and docs.

Bump catalog version (which I apparently forgot to do when jsonb was
committed).

Do jsonb regression test input in the conventional way.

This should make the buildfarm happier.

Introduce jsonb, a structured format for storing json.

The new format accepts exactly the same data as the json type. However, it is
stored in a format that does not require reparsing the orgiginal text in order
to process it, making it much more suitable for indexing and other operations.
Insignificant whitespace is discarded, and the order of object keys is not
preserved. Neither are duplicate object keys kept - the later value for a given
key is the only one stored.

The new type has all the functions and operators that the json type has,
with the exception of the json generation functions (to_json, json_agg etc.)
and with identical semantics. In addition, there are operator classes for
hash and btree indexing, and two classes for GIN indexing, that have no
equivalent in the json type.

This feature grew out of previous work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, which
was intended to provide similar facilities to a nested hstore type, but which
in the end proved to have some significant compatibility issues.
