People wanted to the whole thing at once, so here it is.

Patches 0001 and 0002 are some prep work. Patch 0003 is the main patch
that removes the objargs fields and changes the objname to a generic
Node*. 0004 is an API simplification that could be committed together
with 0003 but I kept it separate for easier review. 0005 accomplishes
the DROP FUNCTION changes. 0006 is some other cleanup that fell out of
this.
