Enforce RETURNING typmod on SQL/JSON DEFAULT behavior expressions

transformJsonBehavior() coerced an ON EMPTY / ON ERROR DEFAULT
expression only when its type differed from the RETURNING type's OID.
When the base type matched but the RETURNING type carried a type
modifier (e.g. numeric(4,1) or varchar(3)), the coercion that enforces
the typmod was skipped, so the DEFAULT value could violate the
declared type:

    SELECT JSON_VALUE(jsonb '{}', '$.a'
                      RETURNING numeric(4,1) DEFAULT 99999.999 ON EMPTY);

returned 99999.999, which 99999.999::numeric(4,1) would reject; the
value could even be stored into a numeric(4,1) column, as later
coercions trust its already-correct type label.

Fix by also coercing when the RETURNING type has a typmod, except for
a NULL constant.  coerce_to_target_type() is a no-op when the typmod
already matches.  The matching-OID short-circuit dates to 74c96699be3.
