pgsql: Fix string truncation to be multibyte-aware in text_name and bpc - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Fix string truncation to be multibyte-aware in text_name and bpchar_name.

Previously, casts to name could generate invalidly-encoded results.

Also, make these functions match namein() more exactly, by consistently
using palloc0() instead of ad-hoc zeroing code.

Back-patch to all supported branches.
