This is a combined revert of the following commits: - c3826f8, a refactoring piece that moved the hex decoding code to src/common/. This code was cleaned up by aef8948, as it originally included no overflow checks in the same way as the base64 routines in src/common/ used by SCRAM, making it unsafe for its purpose. - aef8948, a more advanced refactoring of the hex encoding/decoding code to src/common/ that added sanity checks on the result buffer for hex decoding and encoding. As reported by Hans Buschmann, those overflow checks are expensive, and it is possible to see a performance drop in the decoding/encoding of bytea or LOs the longer they are. Simple SQLs working on large bytea values show a clear difference in perf profile. - ccf4e27, a cleanup made possible by aef8948. The reverts of all those commits bring back the performance of hex decoding and encoding back to what it was in ~13. Fow now and post-beta3, this is the simplest option.
