1. Remove the special case handling when casting the JsonBehavior expressions to types with typmod, like 86d33987 did for the casting of SQL/JSON constructor functions. 2. Fix casting for fixed-length character and bit string types by using assignment-level casts. This is again similar to what 86d33987 did, but for ON ERROR / EMPTY expressions. 3. Use runtime coercion for the boolean ON ERROR constants so that using fixed-length character string types, for example, for an EXISTS column doesn't cause a "value too long for type character(n)" when the parser tries to coerce the default ON ERROR value "false" to that type, that is, even when clause is not specified. 4. Simplify the conditions of when to use runtime coercion vs creating the cast expression in the parser itself. jsonb-valued expressions are now always coerced at runtime and boolean expressions too if the target type is a string type for the reasons mentioned above. New tests are from a patch that Jian He posted. Outputs of some existing tests change because the coercion now happens at runtime instead of at parse time.
