Improve behavior of tsearch_readline(), and remove t_readline().

Commit fbeb9da22, which added the tsearch_readline APIs, left
t_readline() in place as a compatibility measure. But that function
has been unused and deprecated for twelve years now, so that seems
like enough time to remove it. Doing so, and merging t_readline's
code into tsearch_readline, aids in making several useful
improvements:

* The hard-wired 4K limit on line length in tsearch data files is
removed, by using a StringInfo buffer instead of a fixed-size buffer.

* We can buy back the per-line palloc/pfree added by 3ea7e9550
in the common case where encoding conversion is not required.

* We no longer need a separate pg_verify_mbstr call, as that
functionality was folded into encoding conversion some time ago.

(We could have done some of this stuff while keeping t_readline as a
separate API, but there seems little point, since there's no reason
for anyone to still be using t_readline directly.)
