Tom Lane 41d2c081ce Make hstore_to_jsonb_loose match hstore_to_json_loose on what's a number.
Commit e09996ff8dee3f70 removed some ad-hoc code in hstore_to_json_loose
that determined whether an hstore value string looked like a number,
in favor of calling the JSON parser's is-it-a-number code.  However,
it neglected the fact that the exact same code appeared in
hstore_to_jsonb_loose.

This is not a bug, exactly, because the requirements on the two functions
are not the same: hstore_to_json_loose must accept only syntactically legal
JSON numbers as numbers, or it will produce invalid JSON output, as per bug
#12070 which spawned the prior commit.  But hstore_to_jsonb_loose could
accept anything that numeric_in will eat, other than Inf and NaN.

Nonetheless it seems surprising and arbitrary that the two functions don't
use the same rules for what is a number versus what is a string; especially
since they did use the same rules before the aforesaid commit.  For one
thing, that means that doing hstore_to_json_loose and then casting to jsonb
can produce results different from doing just hstore_to_jsonb_loose.

Hence, change hstore_to_jsonb_loose's logic to match hstore_to_json_loose,
ie, hstore values are treated as numbers when they match the JSON syntax
for numbers.

No back-patch, since this is more in the nature of a definitional change
than a bug fix.
