Fix type checking for support functions of parallel VARIADIC aggregates.
The impact of VARIADIC on the combine/serialize/deserialize support
functions of an aggregate wasn't thought through carefully. There is
actually no impact, because variadicity isn't passed through to these
functions (and it doesn't seem like it would need to be). However,
lookup_agg_function was mistakenly told to check things as though it were
passed through. The net result was that it was impossible to declare an
aggregate that had both VARIADIC input and parallelism support functions.
In passing, fix a runtime check in nodeAgg.c for the combine function's
strictness to make its error message agree with the creation-time check.
The previous message was actually backwards, and it doesn't seem like
there's a good reason to have two versions of this message text anyway.
Back-patch to 9.6 where parallel aggregation was introduced.
