Don't think it had changed since I wrote it first.

I don't recall the details, but it's definitely needed for embedding it into
postgresql.conf. We could double the escapes instead, but that doesn't seem an
improvement (and wouldn't work when passing it to the shell anymore).

Yea, it doesn't immediately look like it's needed, and the test passes without
it. I guess I might just have tried to be complete...
