Tweak plpgsql's expression reader to be smarter about parentheses and

to give more useful error messages.  Stephen Szabo's example of this
morning ('loop' used as a variable name inside a subselect) works
correctly now, and a FOR that is misinterpreted as an integer FOR will
draw 'missing .. at end of SQL expression', which is at least
marginally helpful.
