contrib/pg_stat_statements will sometimes run the core lexer a second time
on submitted statements. Formerly, if you had standard_conforming_strings
turned off, this led to sometimes getting two copies of any warnings
enabled by escape_string_warning. While this is probably no longer a big
deal in the field, it's a pain for regression testing.
To fix, change the lexer so it doesn't consult the escape_string_warning
GUC variable directly, but looks at a copy in the core_yy_extra_type state
struct. Then, pg_stat_statements can change that copy to disable warnings
while it's redoing the lexing.
It seemed like a good idea to make this happen for all three of the GUCs
consulted by the lexer, not just escape_string_warning. There's not an
immediate use-case for callers to adjust the other two AFAIK, but making
it possible is easy enough and seems like good future-proofing.
Arguably this is a bug fix, but there doesn't seem to be enough interest to
justify a back-patch. We'd not be able to back-patch exactly as-is anyway,
for fear of breaking ABI compatibility of the struct. (We could perhaps
back-patch the addition of only escape_string_warning by adding it at the
end of the struct, where there's currently alignment padding space.)
