Change things around so that proper quoting of values interpolated into the BKI data by initdb is the responsibility of initdb, not something we half-heartedly handle by putting double quotes into the raw BKI data. (Note: experimentation shows that it still doesn't work to put a double quote into the initial superuser username, but that's the fault of inadequate quoting while interpolating the name into SQL scripts; the BKI aspect of it works fine now.) Having done that, we can remove the special-case handling of values that look like "something" from genbki.pl, and instead teach it to escape double --- and single --- quotes properly. This removes the nowhere-documented need to treat those specially in the BKI source data; whatever you write will be passed through unchanged into the inserted data value, modulo Perl's rules about single-quoted strings. Add documentation explaining the (pre-existing) handling of backslashes in the BKI data. Per an earlier discussion with John Naylor.

This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
