Add planner support functions for range operators <@ and @>.

These support functions will transform expressions with constant
range values into direct comparisons on the range bound values,
which are frequently better-optimizable. The transformation is
skipped however if it would require double evaluation of a
volatile or expensive element expression.

Along the way, add the range opfamily OID to range typcache entries,
since load_rangetype_info has to compute that anyway and it seems
silly to duplicate the work later.
