I have removed patch #3 with COERCE_INTERNAL_CAST too.

Coercions in JsonValueExpr in JsonCtorExpr, which were previously hidden with
COERCE_INTERNAL_CAST and which were outputted as RETURNING or FORMAT JSON
clauses, now moved into separate expressions.

User functions json[b]_build_object_ext() and json[b]_build_array_ext() also
can be easily removed. But it seems harder to remove new aggregate functions
json[b]_objectagg() and json[b]_agg_strict(), because they can't be called
directly from JsonCtorExpr node.

The support for json type in jsonpath also seems to be immature, so I will try
to remove it in the next iteration.
