pgsql: Adjust string comparison so that only bitwise-equal strings are
From

-----------
Adjust string comparison so that only bitwise-equal strings are considered
equal: if strcoll claims two strings are equal, check it with strcmp, and
sort according to strcmp if not identical. This fixes inconsistent
behavior under glibc's hu_HU locale, and probably under some other locales
as well. Also, take advantage of the now-well-defined behavior to speed up
texteq, textne, bpchareq, bpcharne: they may as well just do a bitwise
comparison and not bother with strcoll at all.
NOTE: affected databases may need to REINDEX indexes on text columns to be
sure they are self-consistent.
