Fix pg_type.typlen for newly-revived line type. Commit 261c7d4b653bc3e44c31fd456d94f292caa50d8f removed the "m" field from struct LINE, but neglected to make pg_type.h's idea of the type's size match. This resulted in reading past the end of palloc'd LINE values when inserting them into tuples etc. In principle that could cause a SIGSEGV, though the odds of detectable problems seem low. Bump catversion since this makes an incompatible on-disk format change. Note that if the line type had been in use in the field, this would break pg_upgrade'ability of databases containing line values; but it seems unlikely that there are any (they'd have had to be compiled with -DENABLE_LINE_TYPE).
