Replace the switching function ExecEvalExpr() with a macro that jumps
directly to the appropriate per-node execution function, using a function
pointer stored by ExecInitExpr.  This speeds things up by eliminating one
level of function call.  The function-pointer technique also enables further
small improvements such as only making one-time tests once (and then
changing the function pointer).  Overall this seems to gain about 10%
on evaluation of simple expressions, which isn't earthshaking but seems
a worthwhile gain for a relatively small hack.  Per recent discussion
