 * fetch_array_arg_replace_nulls
 *
 * Fetch an array-valued argument in expanded form; if it's null, construct an
 * empty array value of the proper data type.  Also cache basic element type
 * information in fn_extra.
 *
 * Caution: if the input is a read/write pointer, this returns the input
 * argument; so callers must be sure that their changes are "safe", that is
 * they cannot leave the array in a corrupt state.
 *
 * If we're being called as an aggregate function, make sure any newly-made
 * expanded array is allocated in the aggregate state context, so as to save
 * copying operations.
