It seems that sprintf(), at least in glibc's version, is unreasonably slow
compared to hand-rolled code for printing integers.  Replacing most uses of
sprintf() in the datetime.c output functions with special-purpose code
turns out to give more than a 2X speedup in COPY of a table with a single
timestamp column; which is pretty impressive considering all the other
logic in that code path.
