Add a transform function for numeric typmod coercisions.
This enables ALTER TABLE to skip table and index rebuilds when a column
is changed to an unconstrained numeric, or when the scale is unchanged
and the precision does not decrease.
Noah Misch, with a few stylistic changes and a fix for an OID
collision by me.
