Re: Cleaning up PREPARE query strings?

Hi,

I think this is a good idea.

I am not sure why we need to update the location of the rawstmt at all.
CreateCachedPlan does not seem to care about location and length
of query strings, AFAICT.

```rawstmt->stmt_location = 0;```

This is somewhat tangential, but I am now also wondering if
CleanQuerytext itself
should not mess with supplied statement location and length, but instead
send back the location and length of the isolated query text within the
multi-line query separately.


From
```
extern const char *CleanQuerytext(const char *query, int *location, int *len);
```

To
```
extern const char *CleanQuerytext(const char *query, int location, int
len, int *new_location, int *new_len);
```

It looks wrong that CleanQueryText is modifying any of the original
locations and lengths.
