Add missing support for new node fields

Commit b6fb534f added two new node fields but neglected to add copy and
comparison support for them, Mea culpa, should have checked for that.

I've been annoyed by these stupid functions and forgetting to update them
since I run into them while trying to fix an issue in pg_stat_statement
some time ago.

I've started to develop a perl script to generate most of them from
headers. It is not done yet, but it looks that it can work in the end with
limited effort. Currently it works for copy & equal.

Is there some interest to generate the x00kB of sources rather than edit
them everytime, or forgetting it from time to time, or does everyone like
it as it is?

It'd have to do out/read as well imo.

From my POV yes.  But it's not quite as trivial as just generating it
based on fields. Some fields are intentionally skipped, e.g. location,
for equalfuncs, but not copy/out/readfuncs. So there needs to be a way
to specify such special rules.

Sure. This part is WIP, though.

Indeed, I noticed these particularities... For some case it can be
automated with limited input. For really special cases (eg a few read/out
functions) , the script is told to skip some node types and the special
manual version is taken from the file instead of being generated.
