Fix overly-strict assertions in spgtextproc.c.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Fix overly-strict assertions in spgtextproc.c. spg_text_inner_consistent is capable of reconstructing an empty string to pass down to the next index level; this happens if we have an empty string coming in, no prefix, and a dummy node label. (In practice, what is needed to trigger that is insertion of a whole bunch of empty-string values.) Then, we will arrive at the next level with in->level == 0 and a non-NULL (but zero length) in->reconstructedValue, which is valid but the Assert tests weren't expecting it. Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. This has no impact in non-Assert builds, so should not be a problem in production, but back-patch to all affected branches anyway. In passing, remove a couple of useless variable initializations and shorten the code by not duplicating DatumGetPointer() calls.
