    Fix documentation of regular expression character-entry escapes. · d0f18cde

    The docs claimed that \uhhhh would be interpreted as a Unicode value
    regardless of the database encoding, but it's never been implemented
    that way: \uhhhh and \xhhhh actually mean exactly the same thing, namely
    the character that pg_mb2wchar translates to 0xhhhh.  Moreover we were
    falsely dismissive of the usefulness of Unicode code points above FFFF.
    Fix that.
    
    It's been like this for ages, so back-patch to all supported branches.
