pgsql: Get rid of backtracking in jsonpath_scan.l - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Get rid of backtracking in jsonpath_scan.l

Non-backtracking flex parsers work faster than backtracking ones.  So, this
commit gets rid of backtracking in jsonpath_scan.l.  That required explicit
handling of some cases as well as manual backtracking for some cases.  More
regression tests for numerics are added.
