Tom Lane abd9ca377d Make assorted performance improvements in snprintf.c.
In combination, these changes make our version of snprintf as fast
or faster than most platforms' native snprintf, except for cases
involving floating-point conversion (which we still delegate to
the native sprintf).  The speed penalty for a float conversion
is down to around 10% though, much better than before.

Notable changes:

* Rather than always parsing the format twice to see if it contains
instances of %n$, do the extra scan only if we actually find a $.
This obviously wins for non-localized formats, and even when there
is use of %n$, we can avoid scanning text before the first % twice.

* Use strchrnul() if available to find the next %, and emit the
literal text between % escapes as strings rather than char-by-char.

* Create a bespoke function (dopr_outchmulti) for the common case
of emitting N copies of the same character, in place of writing
loops around dopr_outch.

* Simplify construction of the format string for invocations of sprintf
for floats.

* Const-ify some internal functions, and avoid unnecessary use of
pass-by-reference arguments.

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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
