Tom Lane 350cb386af Clean up handling of explicit NULL constants. Cases like ...

SELECT null::text;
	SELECT int4fac(null);
work as expected now.  In some cases a NULL must be surrounded by
parentheses:
	SELECT 2 + null;                 fails
	SELECT 2 + (null);               OK
This is a grammatical ambiguity that seems difficult to avoid.  Other
than that, NULLs seem to behave about like you'd expect.  The internal
implementation is that NULL constants are typed as UNKNOWN (like
untyped string constants) until the parser can deduce the right type.
