Andres Freund 1de09ad8eb Add more efficient functions to pqformat API.
There's three prongs to achieve greater efficiency here:

1) Allow reusing a stringbuffer across pq_beginmessage/endmessage,
   with the new pq_beginmessage_reuse/endmessage_reuse. This can be
   beneficial both because it avoids allocating the initial buffer,
   and because it's more likely to already have an correctly sized
   buffer.

2) Replacing pq_sendint() with pq_sendint$width() inline
   functions. Previously unnecessary and unpredictable branches in
   pq_sendint() were needed. Additionally the replacement functions
   are implemented more efficiently.  pq_sendint is now deprecated, a
   separate commit will convert all in-tree callers.

3) Add pq_writeint$width(), pq_writestring(). These rely on sufficient
   space in the StringInfo's buffer, avoiding individual space checks
   & potential individual resizing.  To allow this to be used for
   strings, expose mbutil.c's MAX_CONVERSION_GROWTH.

Followup commits will make use of these facilities.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
