SQL/JSON: Fix some oversights in commit b6e1157e7

The decision in b6e1157e7 to ignore raw_expr when evaluating a
JsonValueExpr was incorrect.  While its value is not ultimately
used (since formatted_expr's value is), failing to initialize it
can lead to problems, for instance,  when the expression tree in
raw_expr contains Aggref nodes, which must be initialized to
ensure the parent Agg node works correctly.

Also, optimize eval_const_expressions_mutator()'s handling of
JsonValueExpr a bit.  Currently, when formatted_expr cannot be folded
into a constant, we end up processing it twice -- once directly in
eval_const_expressions_mutator() and again recursively via
ece_generic_processing().  This recursive processing is required to
handle raw_expr. To avoid the redundant processing of formatted_expr,
we now  process raw_expr directly in eval_const_expressions_mutator().

Finally, update the comment of JsonValueExpr to describe the roles of
raw_expr and formatted_expr more clearly.
