Fix oversight in original coding of inline_function(): since
check_sql_fn_retval allows binary-compatibility cases, the expression
extracted from an inline-able SQL function might have a type that is only
binary-compatible with the declared function result type. To avoid possibly
changing the semantics of the expression, we should insert a RelabelType node
in such cases. This has only been shown to have bad consequences in recent
8.1 and up releases, but I suspect there may be failure cases in the older
branches too, so patch it all the way back. Per bug #3116 from Greg Mullane.

Along the way, fix an omission in eval_const_expressions_mutator: it failed
to copy the relabelformat field when processing a RelabelType. No known
observable failures from this, but it definitely isn't intended behavior.
