Improve BRIN infra, minmax opclass and regression test

The minmax opclass was using the wrong support functions when
cross-datatypes queries were run.  Instead of trying to fix the
pg_amproc definitions (which apparently is not possible), use the
already correct pg_amop entries instead.  This requires jumping through
more hoops (read: extra syscache lookups) to obtain the underlying
functions to execute, but it is necessary for correctness.

Author: Emre Hasegeli, tweaked by Álvaro
Review: Andreas Karlsson

Also change BrinOpcInfo to record each stored type's typecache entry
instead of just the OID.  Turns out that the full type cache is
necessary in brin_deform_tuple: the original code used the indexed
type's byval and typlen properties to extract the stored tuple, which is
correct in Minmax; but in other implementations that want to store
something different, that's wrong.  The realization that this is a bug
comes from Emre also, but I did not use his patch.

I also adopted Emre's regression test code (with smallish changes),
which is more complete.
