Alexander Korotkov bffe1bd684 Implement jsonpath .datetime() method
This commit implements jsonpath .datetime() method as it's specified in
SQL/JSON standard.  There are no-argument and single-argument versions of
this method.  No-argument version selects first of ISO datetime formats
matching input string.  Single-argument version accepts template string as
its argument.

Additionally to .datetime() method itself this commit also implements
comparison ability of resulting date and time values.  There is some difficulty
because exising jsonb_path_*() functions are immutable, while comparison of
timezoned and non-timezoned types involves current timezone.  At first, current
timezone could be changes in session.  Moreover, timezones themselves are not
immutable and could be updated.  This is why we let existing immutable functions
throw errors on such non-immutable comparison.  In the same time this commit
provides jsonb_path_*_tz() functions which are stable and support operations
involving timezones.  As new functions are added to the system catalog,
catversion is bumped.

Support of .datetime() method was the only blocker prevents T832 from being
marked as supported.  sql_features.txt is updated correspondingly.
