A comment that applies to all of these: These add various keywords,
switch cases, documentation entries in some order.  Are we happy with
that?  Should we try to reorder all of that for better maintainability
or readability?

These should accept an optional precision argument.  Did you plan to add
that?

This contains a compiler warning:

../src/backend/utils/adt/jsonpath_exec.c: In function
'executeItemOptUnwrapTarget':
../src/backend/utils/adt/jsonpath_exec.c:1162:86: error: 'tmp' may be
used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This also contains compiler warnings:

../src/backend/utils/adt/jsonpath_exec.c: In function
'executeItemOptUnwrapTarget':
../src/backend/utils/adt/jsonpath_exec.c:1403:53: error: declaration of
'numstr' shadows a previous local [-Werror=shadow=compatible-local]
../src/backend/utils/adt/jsonpath_exec.c:1442:54: error: declaration of
'elem' shadows a previous local [-Werror=shadow=compatible-local]

There is a typo in the commit message: "Implement jasonpath"

Any reason this patch is separate from 0002?  Isn't number() and
decimal() pretty similar?

You could also update src/backend/catalog/sql_features.txt in each patch
(features T865 through T878).
