#3029: Cleanup duplication of ST_Intersection(raster, geometry) function

     Type:  defect  |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium  |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.2.0
Component:  raster  |     Version:  trunk        
 Keywords:          |  
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 As mentioned in #3028 there are two candidate versions to call for a
 ST_Intersection(raster,geometry). One takes 2 arguments, the other takes 3
 but the third is optional. I woudln't be surprised to have an ERROR at
 runtime when trying to call them (but I hadn't tried). In any case one of
 the two seems useless and could as well be removed, or the one with a
 third argument should mark it as non-optional.

 Whatever makes the least problem on upgrade should be done.

 Usually (from the ancient past) I preferred _never_ to use DEFAULT
 arguments, giving precedence to full backward compatibility and easy-to-
 upgrade (create or replace). But the horse are likely already out here :)
