Allow LEAKPROOF functions for better performance of security views.

We don't normally allow quals to be pushed down into a view created
with the security_barrier option, but functions without side effects
are an exception: they're OK.  This allows much better performance in
common cases, such as when using an equality operator (that might
even be indexable).

There is an outstanding issue here with the CREATE FUNCTION / ALTER
FUNCTION syntax: there's no way to use ALTER FUNCTION to unset the
leakproof flag.  But I'm committing this as-is so that it doesn't
have to be rebased again; we can fix up the grammar in a future
commit.

KaiGai Kohei, with some wordsmithing by me.
