Retire escapeConnectionParameter().

It is redundant with appendConnStrVal(), which became an extern function
in commit 41f18f021a0882eccbeca62e2ed4b66c6b96e9c9.  This changes the
handling of out-of-memory and of certain inputs for which quoting is
optional, but pg_basebackup has no need for unusual treatment thereof.
