Reduce an unnecessary O(N^3) loop in lexer.
The lexer's handling of operators contained an O(N^3) hazard when
dealing with long strings of + or - characters; it seems hard to
prevent this case from being O(N^2), but the additional N multiplier
was not needed.
Backpatch all the way since this has been there since 7.x, and it
presents at least a mild hazard in that trying to do Bind, PREPARE or
EXPLAIN on a hostile query could take excessive time (without
honouring cancels or timeouts) even if the query was never executed.
