Reject calls from SQL to functions that take or return type internal.

Allowing that is a security hole, since there are many different
functions with different ideas of what their "internal" argument or
result is. We already had a defense against the easy case of
"'foo'::internal", but that turns out to be insufficient. Lock down
both function and operator syntax. Also disallow attempts to cast to
or from type internal; those would mostly fail anyway, but we have
created some holes with features such as CoerceViaIO.
