Fix handling of collations in multi-row VALUES constructs.

Per spec we ought to apply select_common_collation() across the expressions
in each column of the VALUES table.  The original coding was just taking
the first row and assuming it was representative.

This patch adds a field to struct RangeTblEntry to carry the resolved
collations, so initdb is forced for changes in stored rule representation.
