I've noticed a possible bug:

I think it is worth to use pnstrdup() here, because v.val.string.val is
not necessarily null-terminated as the comment says:

Consider an example:

=# CREATE FUNCTION testSVToJsonb3(val jsonb) RETURNS jsonb
LANGUAGE plperl
TRANSFORM FOR TYPE jsonb
AS $$
return $_->{"1"};
$$;

=# SELECT testSVToJsonb3('{"1":{"2":[3,4,5]},"2":3}');
 testsvtojsonb3 
----------------
 (null)

But my perl isn't good, so the example maybe isn't good too.
