Repair incorrect check for coercion of unknown literal to ANYARRAY, a bug
I introduced in 7.4.1 :-(. It's correct to allow unknown to be coerced to ANY or ANYELEMENT, since it's a real-enough data type, but it most certainly isn't an array datatype. This can cause a backend crash but AFAICT is not exploitable as a security hole. Per report from Michael Fuhr. Note: as fixed in HEAD, this changes a constant in the pg_stats view, resulting in a change in the expected regression outputs. The back-branch patches have been hacked to avoid that, so that pre-existing installations won't start failing their regression tests.
