I have removed json[b]_build_object_ext() and json[b]_build_array_ext().

But json[b]_objectagg() and json[b]_agg_strict() are still present.
It seems that removing them requires majors refactoring of the execution
of Aggref and WindowFunc nodes.

I have completely removed patch #1. It turned out to be not so difficult.
