Extend DomainHasConstraints() to optionally check constraint volatility

Add an optional bool *has_volatile output parameter to
DomainHasConstraints().  When non-NULL, the function checks whether any
CHECK constraint contains a volatile expression.  Callers that don't
need this information pass NULL and get the same behavior as before.

This is needed by a subsequent commit that enables the fast default
optimization for domains with non-volatile constraints: we can safely
evaluate such constraints once at ALTER TABLE time, but volatile
constraints require a full table rewrite.
