Obstruct EXTRACT() field name deparse injection.

The parser accepts any string as an EXTRACT() field name, but
deparsing does not quote and escape it accordingly.  To fix, quote
and escape the field name during deparsing as needed.  It might be
a good idea to validate the field name during parsing and
deparsing, too, but that is left as a future exercise.
