Handle default NULL insertion a little better.

If a column is omitted in an INSERT, and there's no column default,
the code in preptlist.c generates a NULL Const to be inserted.
Furthermore, if the column is of a domain type, we wrap the Const
in CoerceToDomain, so as to throw a run-time error if the domain
has a NOT NULL constraint.  That's fine as far as it goes, but
there are two problems:

1. We're being sloppy about the type/typmod that the Const is
labeled with.  It really should have the domain's base type/typmod,
since it's the input to CoerceToDomain not the output.  This can
result in coerce_to_domain inserting a useless length-coercion
function (useless because it's being applied to a null).  The
coercion would typically get const-folded away later, but it'd
be better not to create it in the first place.

2. We're not applying expression preprocessing (specifically,
eval_const_expressions) to the resulting expression tree.
The planner's primary expression-preprocessing pass already happened,
so that means the length coercion step and CoerceToDomain node miss
preprocessing altogether.

This is at the least inefficient, since it means the length coercion
and CoerceToDomain will actually be executed for each inserted row,
though they could be const-folded away in most cases.  Worse, it
seems possible that missing preprocessing for the length coercion
could result in an invalid plan (for example, due to failing to
perform default-function-argument insertion).  I'm not aware of
any live bug of that sort with core datatypes, and it might be
unreachable for extension types as well because of restrictions of
CREATE CAST, but I'm not entirely convinced that it's unreachable.
Hence, it seems worth back-patching the fix (although I only went
back to v14, as the patch doesn't apply cleanly at all in v13).

There are several places in the rewriter that are building null
domain constants the same way as preptlist.c.  While those are
before the planner and hence don't have any reachable bug, they're
still applying a length coercion that will be const-folded away
later, uselessly wasting cycles.  Hence, make a utility routine
that all of these places can call to do it right.

Making this code more careful about the typmod assigned to the
generated NULL constant has visible but cosmetic effects on some
of the plans shown in contrib/postgres_fdw's regression tests.
