Fix some jsonb issues found by Coverity in recent commits.

Mostly these issues concern the non-use of function results. These
have been changed to use (void) pushJsonbValue(...) instead of assigning
the result to a variable that gets overwritten before it is used.

There is a larger issue that we should possibly examine the API for
pushJsonbValue(), so that instead of returning a value it modifies a
state argument. The current idiom is rather clumsy. However, changing
that requires quite a bit more work, so this change should do for the
moment.
