Improve enlargeStringInfo's ERROR message
Until now, when an enlargeStringInfo() call would cause the StringInfo to exceed its maximum size, we reported an "out of memory" error. This is misleading as it's no such thing. Here we remove the "out of memory" text and replace it with something more relevant to better indicate that it's a program limitation that's been reached.
