Tom Lane f8e8be7f2f Fix crash in contrib/ltree's lca() function for empty input array.
lca_inner() wasn't prepared for the possibility of getting no inputs.
Fix that, and make some cosmetic improvements to the code while at it.

Also, I thought the documentation of this function as returning the
"longest common prefix" of the paths was entirely misleading; it really
returns a path one shorter than the longest common prefix, for the typical
definition of "prefix".  Don't use that term in the docs, and adjust the
examples to clarify what really happens.

This has been broken since its beginning, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

Per report from Hailong Li.  Thanks to Pierre Ducroquet for diagnosing
and for the initial patch, though I whacked it around some and added
test cases.
