Fix pg_mcv_list_items() to produce text[]
The function pg_mcv_list_items() returns values stored in MCV items. The
items may contain columns with different data types, so the function was
generating text array-like representation, but in an ad-hoc way without
properly escaping various characters etc.
Fixed by simply building a text[] array, which also makes it easier to
use from queries etc.
Requires changes to pg_proc entry, so bump catversion.
Backpatch to 12, where multi-column MCV lists were introduced.
