Fix broken hash function hashbpcharextended().

Ignore trailing spaces for non-deterministic collations when
hashing.

The previous behavior could lead to tuples falling into the wrong
partitions when hash partitioning is combined with the BPCHAR type and
a non-deterministic collation. Fortunately, it did not affect hash
indexes, because hash indexes do not use extended hash functions.

Decline to backpatch, per discussion.
