Ensure that whole-row junk Vars are always of composite type.
The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.) To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases. This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared. In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example: regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x; ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function
