Modernize string literal syntax in tutorial example.

Un-double the backslashes in the LIKE patterns, since
standard_conforming_strings is now the default.  Just to be sure, include
a command to set standard_conforming_strings to ON in the example.

Back-patch to 9.1, where standard_conforming_strings became the default.
