Fix WITHOUT OVERLAPS' interaction with domains.

UNIQUE/PRIMARY KEY ... WITHOUT OVERLAPS requires the no-overlap
column to be a range or multirange, but it should allow a domain
over such a type too. This requires minor adjustments in both
the parser and executor.

In passing, fix a nearby break-instead-of-continue thinko in
transformIndexConstraint. This had the effect of disabling
parse-time validation of the no-overlap column's type in the context
of ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT, if it follows a dropped column.
We'd still complain appropriately at runtime though.
