Simplify use of AllocSetContextCreate() wrapper macro.

We can allow this macro to accept either abbreviated or non-abbreviated
allocation parameters by making use of __VA_ARGS__.  As noted by Andres
Freund, it's unlikely that any compiler would have __builtin_constant_p
but not __VA_ARGS__, so this gives up little or no error checking, and
it avoids a minor but annoying API break for extensions.

With this change, there is no reason for anybody to call
AllocSetContextCreateExtended directly, so in HEAD I renamed it to
AllocSetContextCreateInternal.  It's probably too late for an ABI
break like that in 11, though.
