Peter Eisentraut 20e58105ba Separate equalRowTypes() from equalTupleDescs() 
This introduces a new function equalRowTypes() that is effectively a
subset of equalTupleDescs() but only compares the number of attributes
and attribute name, type, typmod, and collation.  This is enough for
most existing uses of equalTupleDescs(), which are changed to use the
new function.  The only remaining callers of equalTupleDescs() are
those that really want to check the full tuple descriptor as such,
without concern about record or row or record type semantics.

The existing function hashTupleDesc() is renamed to hashRowType(),
because it now corresponds more to equalRowTypes().

The purpose of this change is to be clearer about the semantics of the
equality asked for by each caller.  (At least one caller had a comment
that questioned whether equalTupleDescs() was too restrictive.)  For
example, 4f622503d6 removed attstattarget from the tuple descriptor
structure.  It was not fully clear at the time how this should affect
equalTupleDescs().  Now the answer is clear: By their own definitions,
equalRowTypes() does not care, and equalTupleDescs() just compares
whatever is in the tuple descriptor but does not care why it is in
there.
