    Use TypeName to represent type names in certain commands · 3f88672a

    In COMMENT, DROP, SECURITY LABEL, and the new pg_get_object_address
    function, we were representing types as a list of names, same as other
    objects; but types are special objects that require their own
    representation to be totally accurate.  In the original COMMENT code we
    had a note about fixing it which was lost in the course of c10575ff.
    Change all those places to use TypeName instead, as suggested by that
    comment.
    
    Right now the original coding doesn't cause any bugs, so no backpatch.
    It is more problematic for proposed future code that operate with object
    addresses from the SQL interface; type details such as array-ness are
    lost when working with the degraded representation.
    
    Thanks to Petr Jelínek and Dimitri Fontaine for offlist help on finding
    a solution to a shift/reduce grammar conflict.
