Marginal hacking to improve the speed of COPY OUT. I had found in a bit of

profiling that CopyAttributeOutText was taking an unreasonable fraction of
the backend run time (like 66%!) on the following trivial test case:

$ time psql -c "copy (select repeat('xyzzy',50) from generate_series(1,10000000)) to stdout" regression >/dev/null

The time is all being spent on scanning the string for characters to be
escaped, which most of the time there aren't any of.  Some tweaking to take
as many tests as possible out of the inner loop reduced the runtime of this
example by more than 10%.  In a real-world case it wouldn't be as useful
a speedup, but it still seems worth adding a few lines here.
