Attached is a patch to fix some recently raised issues that exist in

contrib/tablefunc. Specifically it replaces the use of VIEWs (for needed
composite type creation) with use of CREATE TYPE. It also performs GRANT
EXECUTE ON FUNCTION foo() TO PUBLIC for all of the created functions. There
was also a cosmetic change to two regression files.
