The change in row_to_json looks OK, I think. we're replacing an
overloading with use of default params, yes? That seems quite
reasonable, and users shouldn't notice the difference.
There might be a case for optionally suppressing nulls in array_to_json,
and it might work reasonably since unlike SQL arrays JSON arrays don't
have to be regular (if nested they are arrays of arrays, not
multi-dimensional single arrays). OTOH I'm not sure if it's worth doing
just for the sake of orthogonality. If someone wants it, then go for it.
