Refactor typcache.c's record typmod hash table.

Previously, tuple descriptors were stored in chains keyed by a fixed size
array of OIDs.  That meant there were effectively two levels of collision
chain -- one inside and one outside the hash table.  Instead, let dynahash.c
look after conflicts for us by supplying a proper hash and equal function
pair.

This is a nice cleanup on its own, but also simplifies followup
changes allowing blessed TupleDescs to be shared between backends
participating in parallel query.
