pgsql: Speed up byteain by not parsing traditional-style input twice.

Speed up byteain by not parsing traditional-style input twice.

Instead of laboriously computing the exact output length, use strlen
to get an upper bound cheaply.  (This is still O(N) of course, but
the constant factor is a lot less.)  This will typically result in
overallocating the output datum, but that's of little concern since
it's a short-lived allocation in just about all use-cases.

A simple microbenchmark showed about 40% speedup for long input
strings.

While here, make some cosmetic cleanups and add a test case that
covers the double-backslash code path in byteain and byteaout.
