quote_identifier's API is designed on the assumption that it's not worth worrying about a short-term memory leak when we have to produce a quoted version of the given identifier. Whoever wrote quote_object_name took it on themselves to override that judgment, but the only way to do so is to cast away const someplace. We can avoid that and substantially shorten the function by going along with quote_identifier's opinion. AFAICS quote_object_name is not used in any way where this would be unsustainable. Per discussion of commit 45987aae2, which exposed that we had a casting-away-const situation here. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20220827112304.GL2342@telsasoft.com
