Log Message:
-----------
Make replace(), split_part(), and string_to_array() behave somewhat sanely
when handed an invalidly-encoded pattern.  The previous coding could get
into an infinite loop if pg_mb2wchar_with_len() returned a zero-length
string after we'd tested for nonempty pattern; which is exactly what it
will do if the string consists only of an incomplete multibyte character.
This led to either an out-of-memory error or a backend crash depending
on platform.  Per report from Wiktor Wodecki.
