Log message:
    Coerce unknown-literal-constant default values to the column type during
    CREATE TABLE (or ALTER TABLE SET DEFAULT), rather than postponing it to
    the time that the default is inserted into an INSERT command by the
    rewriter.  This reverses an old decision that was intended to make the
    world safe for writing
    f1 timestamp default 'now'
    but in fact merely made the failure modes subtle rather than obvious.
    Per recent trouble report and followup discussion.

    initdb forced since there is a chance that stored default expressions
    will change.
