Here is a patch set for that. (I just kept the pg_proc.h changes
separate for easier viewing.) It's not quite complete; some frontend
code still needs adjusting; but the idea is clear.

I think this would be a pretty good change. It doesn't appear to save a
ton amount of code, although a couple of cases where inconsistent
settings of proisagg and proiswindow had to be handed could be removed.
Because window functions are a separate kind in pg_proc but not in the
object address system, inconsistencies will remain in the system, but I
guess that's just the way it is.
