Thanks.  Some more tweaking to go yet before I consider this
committable, but it's much better now.  Here's v28.  I changed a few
things:

- make expression evaluation code more orthodox:
  1. avoid PG_TRY, use a ExprContext shutdown callback instead
  2. use a "Fast" evaluator, for calls past the first one
  3. don't look up fmgrinfos until execution time
  4. don't duplicate get_expr_result_type
- make parser accept DEFAULT namespace. Only xml implementation barfs.
  (this means we lost the errposition pointer, but I don't really
   care. We could fix it if we cared)
- clean up parse analysis code a little bit
- move decls/struct defs to better locations in source code
- remove leftover "namespaces" in TableExprState
- pgindent the whole mess.

I don't like the xml.c code and the "evalcols" flag.  That's next on my
list to fix.

I don't think to_xmlstr() is necessary, considering xml_text2xmlChar.
We could just apply a cast of the source cstring to xmlChar.
