Teach eval_const_expressions() to handle some more cases.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Teach eval_const_expressions() to handle some more cases. Add some infrastructure (mostly macros) to make it easier to write typical cases for constant-expression simplification. Add simplification processing for ArrayRef, RowExpr, and ScalarArrayOpExpr node types, which formerly went unsimplified even if all their inputs were constants. Also teach it to simplify FieldSelect from a composite constant. Make use of the new infrastructure to reduce the amount of code needed for the existing ArrayExpr and ArrayCoerceExpr cases. One existing test case changes output as a result of the fact that RowExpr can now be folded to a constant. All the new code is exercised by existing test cases according to gcov, so I feel no need to add additional tests.
