We should wait a bit longer to see if anyone objects, but assuming that
this represents the consensus opinion ...

ISTM that the name "jsonb_ops" should have pride of place as the default
jsonb opclass.  Therefore, if we make this change, jsonb_hash_ops needs to
be renamed to jsonb_ops, and we need a new name for what is now jsonb_ops.
I haven't paid attention to the technical details of the differences so
I have no idea what to suggest for the new name.  Thoughts?
