Cache argument type information in json(b) aggregate functions.

These functions have been looking up type info for every row they
process. Instead of doing that we only look them up the first time
through and stash the information in the aggregate state object.

Affects json_agg, json_object_agg, jsonb_agg and jsonb_object_agg.

There is plenty more work to do in making these more efficient,
especially the jsonb functions, but this is a virtually cost free
improvement that can be done right away.

Backpatch to 9.5 where the jsonb variants were introduced.
