compiler warnings issue resolved.

I figured out how to use the precision argument.
But I don't know how to get the precision argument in the parse stage.

attached is my attempt to implement: select
jsonb_path_query('"2017-03-10 11:11:01.123"', '$.timestamp(2)');
not that familiar with src/backend/utils/adt/jsonpath_gram.y. imitate
decimal method failed. decimal has precision and scale two arguments.
here only one argument.

looking for hints.
