markup's broken. So just remove it...

Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntax
...
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E
strings will not treat backslashes specially.
Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The
existing examples would have drawn warnings.)

Fix handling of CC (century) format spec in to_date/to_char. According to
...
standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that. Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.
Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.
