David Rowley 8b26769bc4 Fix an assortment of improper usages of string functions
In a similar effort to f736e188c and 110d81728, fixup various usages of
string functions where a more appropriate function is available and more
fit for purpose.

These changes include:

1. Use cstring_to_text_with_len() instead of cstring_to_text() when
   working with a StringInfoData and the length can easily be obtained.
2. Use appendStringInfoString() instead of appendStringInfo() when no
   formatting is required.
3. Use pstrdup(...) instead of psprintf("%s", ...)
4. Use pstrdup(...) instead of psprintf(...) (with no formatting)
5. Use appendPQExpBufferChar() instead of appendPQExpBufferStr() when the
   length of the string being appended is 1.
6. appendStringInfoChar() instead of appendStringInfo() when no formatting
   is required and string is 1 char long.
7. Use appendPQExpBufferStr(b, .) instead of appendPQExpBuffer(b, "%s", .)
8. Don't use pstrdup when it's fine to just point to the string constant.

I (David) did find other cases of #8 but opted to use #4 instead as I
wasn't certain enough that applying #8 was ok (e.g in hba.c)

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:

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.
