Fix possible buffer overrun in contrib/pg_trgm.

Allow for the possibility that folding a string to lower case makes it
longer (due to replacing a character with a longer multibyte character).
This doesn't change the number of trigrams that will be extracted, but
it does affect the required size of an intermediate buffer in
generate_trgm().  Per bug #8821 from Ufuk Kayserilioglu.

Also install some checks that the input string length is not so large
as to cause overflow in the calculations of palloc request sizes.

Back-patch to all supported versions.
