text_to_array(): they all had O(N^2) behavior on long input strings in

Repair bug #2694 concerning an ARRAY[] construct whose inputs are empty

must be an empty array too, whereas a mix of empty and nonempty arrays

construct was strict: any NULL input immediately yielded a NULL output;
so I left that behavior alone.  HEAD was simply ignoring NULL sub-arrays,
