Further fixes for quoted-list GUC values in pg_dump and ruleutils.c.
Commits 742869946 et al turn out to be a couple bricks shy of a load. We were dumping the stored values of GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables as they appear in proconfig or setconfig catalog columns. However, although that quoting rule looks a lot like SQL-identifier double quotes, there are two critical differences: empty strings ("") are legal, and depending on which variable you're considering, values longer than NAMEDATALEN might be valid too. So the current technique fails altogether on empty-string list entries (as reported by Steven Winfield in bug #15248) and it also risks truncating file pathnames during dump/reload of GUC values that are lists of pathnames. To fix, split the stored value without any downcasing or truncation, and then emit each element as a SQL string literal. This is a tad annoying, because we now have three copies of the comma-separated-string splitting logic in varlena.c as well as a fourth one in dumputils.c. (Not to mention the randomly-different-from-those splitting logic in libpq...) I looked at unifying these, but it would be rather a mess unless we're willing to tweak the API definitions of SplitIdentifierString, SplitDirectoriesString, or both. That might be worth doing in future; but it seems pretty unsafe for a back-patched bug fix, so for now accept the duplication. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous fix was.
