Improve the implementation of information_schema._pg_expandarray().
This function was originally coded with a handmade expansion of the array subscripts. We can do it a little faster and far more legibly today, by using unnest() WITH ORDINALITY. While at it, let's apply the rowcount estimation support that exists for the underlying unnest() function: reduce the default ROWS estimate to 100 and attach array_unnest_support. I'm not sure that array_unnest_support can do anything useful today with the call sites that exist in information_schema, but it can't hurt, and the existing default rowcount of 1000 is surely much too high for any of these cases. The psql.sql regression script is using _pg_expandarray() as a test case for \sf+. While we could keep doing so, the new one-line function body makes a poor test case for \sf+ row-numbering, so switch it to print another information_schema function.
