Improve plpgsql's error messages for incorrect %TYPE and %ROWTYPE.
If one of these constructs referenced a nonexistent object, we'd fall
through to feeding the whole construct to the core parser, which would
reject it with a "syntax error" message. That's pretty unhelpful and
misleading. There's no good reason for plpgsql_parse_wordtype and
friends not to throw a useful error for incorrect input, so make them
do that instead of returning NULL.
