support for NEXT VALUE FOR expression

Here is a patch for implementing the NEXT VALUE FOR expression.  This is
the SQL-standard conforming version of our nextval() function, and it's
also used by Oracle, MS SQL, DB2.  Example:

SELECT NEXT VALUE FOR foo_seq;

The second patch changes the serial column to use this new expression
for its generated default values.  This doesn't make an external
difference except perhaps that the generated expression looks less weird
to the user.
