Minor performance improvements

Four small optimizations in org.postgresql.core.PGStream:

1) The int to byte conversion is not needed in this method:

public void SendChar(int val) throws IOException
{
pg_output.write((byte)val);
}

(I found this while profiling a test that included about 5000 queries. This method was called half a million times, and actually had the third largest "own time" behind executeBatch and executeQuery)

2) The byte masks are not required in SendInteger4 and SendInteger2, as OutputStream.write(int) ignores the top 24 bits. Though if these are removed I think comments should be included instead to clarify that only the bottom eight bits get written.

3) The method with the signature: void Send(byte buf[], int off, int siz),
Could be rewritten so that the test occurs once instead of twice: (buf.length - off) < siz

4) two new parameterless methods should be added to optimize int ReceiveIntegerR(int siz) when called with size 2 and 4, as calls with these parameter values are very common. The call sites should change to use the new methods.
