As committed, gen_node_support.pl excludes CallContext and InlineCodeBlock

Couldn't we just enable those support functions? I think they were just
excluded because they didn't have any before and nobody bothered to make
any.
Well, we could I suppose, but that path leads to a lot of dead code in
backend/nodes/ --- obviously these two alone are negligible, but I want
a story other than "it's a hack" for execnodes.h and the other files
we exclude from generation of support code.
Here's a proposed patch for this bit. Again, whether these two
node types have unnecessary support functions is not the point ---
obviously we could afford to waste that much space. Rather, what
I'm after is to have a more explainable and flexible way of dealing
with the file-level exclusions applied to a lot of other node types.
This patch doesn't make any change in the script's output now, but
it gives us flexibility for the future.
Yeah, looks reasonable.
