Tom Lane 3dc820c43e Teach genbki.pl to auto-generate pg_type entries for array types.
This eliminates some more tedium in adding new catalog entries,
specifically the need to set up an array type when adding a new
built-in data type.  Now it's sufficient to assign an OID for the
array type and write it in an "array_type_oid" metadata field.
You don't have to fill the base type's typarray link explicitly, either.

No catversion bump since the contents of pg_type aren't changed.
(Well, their order might be different, but that doesn't matter.)

John Naylor, reviewed and whacked around a bit by
Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker, and some more by me.
