Add select_common_typmod()

This accompanies select_common_type() and select_common_collation().
Typmods were previously combined using hand-coded logic in several
places.  The logic in select_common_typmod() isn't very exciting, but
it makes the code more compact and readable in a few locations, and in
the future we can perhaps do more complicated things if desired.

As a small enhancement, the type unification of the direct and
aggregate arguments of hypothetical-set aggregates now unifies the
typmod as well using this new function, instead of just dropping it.
