Remove arithmetic operators on the 1-byte-char datatype, as per proposals

Browse Source 
made several times in the past.  Add coercion functions between "char"
and integer so that a workaround is possible if needed.

Initdb forced.

Formerly, the parser would select these operators in many situations
where an <quote>unable to select an operator</> error would be more
appropriate, such as <literal>null * null</>. If you actually want
to do arithmetic on a <quote>char</> column, you can cast it to integer.
