Re: Jsonb transform for pl/python

Well frankly I very much doubt that this:

```
+-- set -> jsonb
+CREATE FUNCTION test1set() RETURNS jsonb
+LANGUAGE plpython2u
+TRANSFORM FOR TYPE jsonb
+AS $$
+x = set()
+x.add(1)
+x.add("string")
+x.add(None)
+return x
+$$;
+SELECT test1set();
+          test1set
+----------------------------
+ "set([1, 'string', None])"
+(1 row)
```

... is an expected and valid behavior. If user tries to transform a
set() to JSONB this is most likely a mistake since there is no standard
representation of a set() in JSONB. I believe we should rise an error in
this case instead of generating a string. Besides user can expect that
such string can be transformed back to set() which doesn't sound like a
good idea either.

If necessary, user can just transform a set() to a list():

```
>>> x = set([1,2,3,4])
>>> x
{1, 2, 3, 4}
>>> list(x)
[1, 2, 3, 4]
```

BTW I just recalled that Python supports complex numbers out-of-the box
and that range and xrange are a separate types too:

```
>>> 1 + 2j
(1+2j)
>>> range(3)
range(0, 3)
>>> type(range(3))
<class 'range'>
```

I think we should add all this to the tests as well. Naturally complex
numbers can't be represented in JSON so we should rise an error if user
tries to transform a complex number to JSON. I'm not that sure regarding
ranges though. Probably the best solution will be to rise and error in
this case as well just to keep things consistent.

I would say this error message is too informal. How about something more
like "Infinity can't be represented in JSONB"?

I'm afraid that tests fail on Python 3:

``` SELECT test1set();        test1set         -----------------------
!  "{None, 1, 'string'}" (1 row)  DROP EXTENSION plpython3u CASCADE;
--- 296,302 ---- SELECT test1set();        test1set         -----------------------
!  "{1, None, 'string'}" (1 row)  DROP EXTENSION plpython3u CASCADE
```
