Bug reference:      16333
Logged by:          Tyler Reynolds

Operating system:   Windows 10
Description:

To reproduce:

CREATE DATABASE test;
CREATE EXTENSION citext;

SELECT position('foo'::citext IN 'Foobar'::citext) =
strpos('Foobar'::citext, 'foo'::citext) as "positionEqualsStrpos";

Expected: "positionEqualsStrpos" returns TRUE.
Actual: "positionEqualsStrpos" returns FALSE.

Citext does not create an overload for position() supporting citext
parameters, therefore position(a in b) always runs case-sensitive.
