Tom Lane 3ab9a63cb6 Rename JsonIsPredicate.value_type, fix JSON backend/nodes/ infrastructure. ...

I started out with the intention to rename value_type to item_type to
avoid a collision with a typedef name that appears on some platforms.

Along the way, I noticed that the adjacent field "format" was not being
correctly handled by the backend/nodes/ infrastructure functions:
copyfuncs.c erroneously treated it as a scalar, while equalfuncs,
outfuncs, and readfuncs omitted handling it at all.  This looks like
it might be cosmetic at the moment because the field is always NULL
after parse analysis; but that's likely a bug in itself, and the code's
certainly not very future-proof.  Let's fix it while we can still do so
without forcing an initdb on beta testers.

Further study found a few other inconsistencies in the backend/nodes/
infrastructure for the recently-added JSON node types, so fix those too.

catversion bumped because of potential change in stored rules.
