Actually, I think we probably don't need any SQL representation of this
at all, because if what you're going to do with it is omit logically
necessary null-value checks, then a wrong setting would trivially crash
the server. Therefore, we can never give the ability to set this flag
to users; we could only set it on built-in functions.
(But that saves a lot of work, eg dump/restore support isn't needed
either.)
This doesn't seem too awful to me, because non-builtin functions are
most likely slow enough that it doesn't matter.
