typecmds.c says:
"Domains over composite types might be made to work in the future, but 
not today."

Attached is a patch that allows domains over composite types, together 
with test cases in domaincomp.sql. A domain over a composite type has 
typtype TYPTYPE_DOMAIN, but typrelid and typrelkind are empty: that 
information is only available in the pg_type record of the base type. 
The remainder of the patch follows from that choice. While parsing a 
record expression into a row type, an extra coercion node had to be 
inserted to ensure that the domain checks are called.

All regression tests are ok, comments are highly appreciated.
