    Improve error messages for malformed array input strings. · 475aedd1

    Make the error messages issued by array_in() uniformly follow the style
    	ERROR: malformed array literal: "actual input string"
    	DETAIL: specific complaint here
    and rewrite many of the specific complaints to be clearer.
    
    The immediate motivation for doing this is a complaint from Josh Berkus
    that json_to_record() produced an unintelligible error message when
    dealing with an array item, because it tries to feed the JSON-format
    array value to array_in().  Really it ought to be smart enough to
    perform JSON-to-Postgres array conversion, but that's a future feature
    not a bug fix.  In the meantime, this change is something we agreed
    we could back-patch into 9.4, and it should help de-confuse things a bit.
