    Allow Unicode escapes in any server encoding, not only UTF-8. · a6525588
    Tom Lane authored
    SQL includes provisions for numeric Unicode escapes in string
    literals and identifiers.  Previously we only accepted those
    if they represented ASCII characters or the server encoding
    was UTF-8, making the conversion to internal form trivial.
    This patch adjusts things so that we'll call the appropriate
    encoding conversion function in less-trivial cases, allowing
    the escape sequence to be accepted so long as it corresponds
    to some character available in the server encoding.
    
    This also applies to processing of Unicode escapes in JSONB.
    However, the old restriction still applies to client-side
    JSON processing, since that hasn't got access to the server's
    encoding conversion infrastructure.
    
    This patch includes some lexer infrastructure that simplifies
    throwing errors with error cursors pointing into the middle of
    a string (or other complex token).  For the moment I only used
    it for errors relating to Unicode escapes, but we might later
    expand the usage to some other cases.
    
    Patch by me, reviewed by John Naylor.
