Fix ecpg bugs caused by missing semicolons in the backend grammar.
The Bison documentation clearly states that a semicolon is required after every grammar rule, and our scripts that generate ecpg's grammar from the backend's implicitly assumed this is true. But it turns out that only ancient versions of Bison actually enforce that. There have been a couple of rules without trailing semicolons in gram.y for some time, and as a consequence, ecpg's grammar was faulty and produced wrong output for the affected statements. To fix, add the missing semis, and add some cross-checks to ecpg's scripts so that they'll bleat if we mess this up again. The cases that were broken were: * "SET variable = DEFAULT" (but not "SET variable TO DEFAULT"), as well as allied syntaxes such as ALTER SYSTEM SET ... DEFAULT. These produced syntactically invalid output that the server would reject. * Multiple type names in DROP TYPE/DOMAIN commands. Only the first type name would be listed in the emitted command. Per report from Daisuke Higuchi. Back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1803D792815FC24D871C00D17AE95905DB51CE@g01jpexmbkw24
