Make eval_const_expressions() preserve typmod when simplifying something like
null::char(3) to a simple Const node. (It already worked for non-null values, but not when we skipped evaluation of a strict coercion function.) This prevents loss of typmod knowledge in situations such as exhibited in bug #3598. Unfortunately there seems no good way to fix that bug in 8.1 and 8.2, because they simply don't carry a typmod for a plain Const node. In passing I made all the other callers of makeNullConst supply "real" typmod values too, though I think it probably doesn't matter anywhere else.
