hashvalidate(), which validates the signatures of support functions for the hash AM, contained several hardcoded exceptions. For example, hash/date_ops support function 1 was hashint4(), which would ordinarily fail validation because the function argument is int4, not date. But this works internally because int4 and date are of the same size. There are several more exceptions like this that happen to work and were allowed historically but would now fail the function signature validation. This patch removes those exceptions by providing new support functions that have the proper declared signatures. They internally share most of the code with the "wrong" functions they replace, so the behavior is still the same. With the exceptions gone, hashvalidate() is now simplified and relies fully on check_amproc_signature(). hashvarlena() and hashvarlenaextended() are kept in pg_proc.dat because some extensions currently use them to build hash functions for their own types, and we need to keep exposing these functions as "LANGUAGE internal" functions for that to continue to work.
