refint: Fix SQL injection and buffer overruns.

Maliciously crafted key value updates could achieve SQL injection
within check_foreign_key().  To fix, ensure new key values are
properly quoted and escaped in the internally generated SQL
statements.  While at it, avoid potential buffer overruns by
replacing the stack buffers for internally generated SQL statements
with StringInfo.
