The type _char16 (array of char16) is incorrectly defined as array of name
and values longer than 16 chars are stored as names and not truncated to 16
bytes as they should be.

before (plus some optimisations/bug fixes et al). I've included a small
demo transcript below. Note that all of of the display
functionality/intelligence you see here, can be had merely by calling
the new LIBPQ PQprint() routine with the appropriate arguments/options,
including the HTML3 output guff.

------------
This patch was necessary for the OpenLink Postgres Database Agent.
I think this fixes a bug anyway.
The following query demonstrates this bug:
create table foo (bar varchar);
insert into foo values (''); -- no problem
select * from foo where bar = ''; -- fails
causes segmentation fault.
Thanks to: Salvador Ortiz Garcia, Robert Patrick, Paul 'Shag' Walmsley,
and James Cooper for finding and fixing the problem.
