Promote row expressions to full-fledged citizens of the expression syntax,
rather than allowing them only in a few special cases as before. In particular you can now pass a ROW() construct to a function that accepts a rowtype parameter. Internal generation of RowExprs fixes a number of corner cases that used to not work very well, such as referencing the whole-row result of a JOIN or subquery. This represents a further step in the work I started a month or so back to make rowtype values into first-class citizens.
