ST_ExteriorRing ERROR when NULL documented

[lijat]

The following query returns an error and not null as the documentation indicates

select ST_ExteriorRing(ST_Point(1,2));

ERROR: ExteriorRing: geom is not a polygon

the documentation here ​http://postgis.net/docs/ST_ExteriorRing.html states that

"Return NULL if the geometry is not a polygon."

Hm, ST_InteriorRingN displays the same behavior.

On the other hand, ST_NumInteriorRings() returns NULL for non-geometry types.

So we've got a certifiable mishmash.

In 15785:

Harmonize behavior of ExteriorRing / InteriorRingN
and NumInteriorRings on returning NULL on bad input
instead of errors, matching the doco
