Record range constructor functions in pg_range
When a range type is created, several construction functions are also
created, two for the range type and three for the multirange type.
These have an internal dependency, so they "belong" to the range type.
But there was no way to identify those functions when given a range
type. An upcoming patch needs access to the two- or possibly the
three-argument range constructor function for a given range type. The
only way to do that would be with fragile workarounds like matching
names and argument types. The correct way to do that kind of thing is
to record to the links in the system catalogs. This is what this
patch does, it records the OIDs of these five constructor functions in
the pg_range catalog. (Currently, there is no code that makes use of
this.)
