Allow subscripting of hstore values.
This is basically a finger exercise to prove that it's possible for
an extension module to add subscripting ability. Subscripted fetch
from an hstore is not different from the existing "hstore -> text"
operator. Subscripted update does seem to be a little easier to
use than the traditional update method using hstore concatenation,
but it's not a fundamentally new ability.
However, there may be some value in the code as sample code, since
it shows what's basically the minimum-complexity way to implement
subscripting when one needn't consider nested container objects.
