These code paths are far from being critical and the two ones in
ruleutils.c are older, even if it is a practice that had better be
discouraged particularly as initStringInfo() can allocate some memory
for nothing.  So it could bloat the current memory context if these
code paths are repeatedly taken.

Yeah, it's a bit annoying to do unnecessary work.

Plus a small gain, by delaying memory allocation until when it is actually needed.
