In #60560, we made the matching of types in UNIONs more strict. In the
recursive CTE code, we don't allow adding casts to the initial
expression, so the change caused us to regress in terms of supported
queries.
This change fixes this by allowing casts to the initial expression.
Not sure why I didn't allow this from the get-go.
Release note (bug fix): fixed "types cannot be matched for WITH
RECURSIVE" error in cases where we can cast the type in the initial
expression.
