Bug Fixes and Improvements

The issues listed below affect PostgreSQL 17. Some of these issues may also affect other supported versions of PostgreSQL.

• Improve behavior of quoting functions in libpq. The fix for CVE-2025-1094 caused the quoting functions to not honor their string length parameters and, in some cases, cause crashes. This problem could be noticeable from a PostgreSQL client library, based on how it is integrated with libpq.
• Fix small memory leak in https://www.postgresql.org/about/news/postgresql-174-168-1512-1417-and-1320-released-3018/
