Adjust handling of data type names to suppress double quotes

 unless necessary.
Label internal bpchar types as "character" and varchar types as
 "character varying" to be less Postgres-specific. These types map to
 the SQL92 definitions anyway.
Redefine g_force_quotes to be the local variable force_quotes.
Pass this as an argument to fmtId().
These should help with handling the single-byte internal "char" type.
