Invent nodetag_only attribute for Nodes.

This allows explaining gen_node_support.pl's handling of execnodes.h
and some other input files as being a shortcut for explicit marking
of all their node declarations as pg_node_attr(nodetag_only).
I foresee that someday we might need to be more fine-grained about
that, and this change provides the infrastructure needed to do so.
For now, it just allows removal of the script's klugy special case
for CallContext and InlineCodeBlock.
