Fix corner case bug in numeric to_char() some more.
The band-aid applied in commit f0bedf3e4 turns out to still need some work: it made sure we didn't set Np->last_relevant too small (to the left of the decimal point), but it didn't prevent setting it too large (off the end of the partially-converted string). This could result in fetching data beyond the end of the allocated space, which with very bad luck could cause a SIGSEGV, though I don't see any hazard of interesting memory disclosure. Per bug #17839 from Thiago Nunes. The bug's pretty ancient, so back-patch to all supported versions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17839-aada50db24d7b0da@postgresql.org
