Fix interval_transform so it doesn't throw away non-no-op casts.
interval_transform() contained two separate bugs that caused it to
sometimes mistakenly decide that a cast from interval to restricted
interval is a no-op and throw it away.
First, it was wrong to rely on dt.h's field type macros to have an
ordering consistent with the field's significance; in one case they do
not. This led to mistakenly treating YEAR as less significant than MONTH,
so that a cast from INTERVAL MONTH to INTERVAL YEAR was incorrectly
discarded.
Second, fls(1<<k) produces k+1 not k, so comparing its output directly
to SECOND was wrong. This led to supposing that a cast to INTERVAL
MINUTE was really a cast to INTERVAL SECOND and so could be discarded.
To fix, get rid of the use of fls(), and make a function based on
intervaltypmodout to produce a field ID code adapted to the need here.
Per bug #14479 from Piotr Stefaniak. Back-patch to 9.2 where transform
functions were introduced, because this code was born broken.
