Implement the IS DISTINCT FROM operator per SQL99.

Browse Source 
Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles
 the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles
 the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required
 by SQL99.
We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons
 all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs
 are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for
 other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move
 this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend.
Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99.
 This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed
 due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses.
Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().
