Log Message:
-----------
Allow SQL-language functions to return the output of an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
RETURNING clause, not just a SELECT as formerly.

A side effect of this patch is that when a set-returning SQL function is used
in a FROM clause, performance is improved because the output is collected into
a tuplestore within the function, rather than using the less efficient
value-per-call mechanism.
