Make replace(), split_part(), and string_to_array() behave somewhat sanely
when handed an invalidly-encoded pattern. The previous coding could get into an infinite loop if pg_mb2wchar_with_len() returned a zero-length string after we'd tested for nonempty pattern; which is exactly what it will do if the string consists only of an incomplete multibyte character. This led to either an out-of-memory error or a backend crash depending on platform. Per report from Wiktor Wodecki.
