Convert *GetDatum() and DatumGet*() macros to inline functions
The previous macro implementations just cast the argument to a target
type but did not check whether the input type was appropriate. The
function implementation can do better type checking of the input type.
For the *GetDatumFast() macros, converting to an inline function
doesn't work in the !USE_FLOAT8_BYVAL case, but we can use
AssertVariableIsOfTypeMacro() to get a similar level of type checking.
