tree: add more casting fixes for text to reg*
Release note (sql change): Added ability to cast a string containing all
integers to be cast into a given regtype, e.g. '1234'::regproc is now
valid.
Release note (bug fix): Fixed a bug where casts from string to regproc,
regtype or regprocedure would not work if they contained " characters at
the beginning or at the end.

Release note (bug fix): Fix a bug where casts to
regclass were not escaped (i.e. when the
type or table name had " characters).
