    Fix backslash-escaping multibyte chars in COPY FROM. · c444472a
    Heikki Linnakangas authored
    If a multi-byte character is escaped with a backslash in TEXT mode input,
    and the encoding is one of the client-only encodings where the bytes after
    the first one can have an ASCII byte "embedded" in the char, we didn't
    skip the character correctly. After a backslash, we only skipped the first
    byte of the next character, so if it was a multi-byte character, we would
    try to process its second byte as if it was a separate character. If it
    was one of the characters with special meaning, like '\n', '\r', or
    another '\\', that would cause trouble.
    
    One such exmple is the byte sequence '\x5ca45c2e666f6f' in Big5 encoding.
    That's supposed to be [backslash][two-byte character][.][f][o][o], but
    because the second byte of the two-byte character is 0x5c, we incorrectly
    treat it as another backslash. And because the next character is a dot, we
    parse it as end-of-copy marker, and throw an "end-of-copy marker corrupt"
    error.
    
    Backpatch to all supported versions.
