This essentially reverts c2d93c3802b except tests. The problem with c2d93c3802b was that it only changed the casting behavior for types with typmod, and had coding issues noted in the post-commit review. This commit changes coerceJsonFuncExpr() to use assignment-level casts instead of explicit casts to coerce the result of JSON constructor functions to the specified or the default RETURNING type. Using assignment-level casts fixes the problem that using explicit casts was leading to the wrong typmod / length coercion behavior -- truncating results longer than the specified length instead of erroring out -- which c2d93c3802b aimed to solve. That restricts the set of allowed target types to string types, the same set that's currently allowed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/202406291824.reofujy7xdj3@alvherre.pgsql
