pgsql: Fix UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT so that when two inputs being merged - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Fix UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT so that when two inputs being merged have
same data type and same typmod, we show that typmod as the output
typmod, rather than generic -1.  This responds to several complaints
over the past few years about UNIONs unexpectedly dropping length or
precision info.
