Narrow the scope of the variable outputstr in logicalrep_write_tuple

Hi,

I find that the outputstr variable in logicalrep_write_tuple() only use in
`else` branch, I think we can narrow the scope, just like variable outputbytes
in `if` branch (for more readable).

/*
* Send in binary if requested and type has suitable send function.
*/
if (binary && OidIsValid(typclass->typsend))
{
bytea *outputbytes;
int len;

pq_sendbyte(out, LOGICALREP_COLUMN_BINARY);
outputbytes = OidSendFunctionCall(typclass->typsend, values[i]);
len = VARSIZE(outputbytes) - VARHDRSZ;
pq_sendint(out, len, 4); /* length */
pq_sendbytes(out, VARDATA(outputbytes), len); /* data */
pfree(outputbytes);
}
else
{
pq_sendbyte(out, LOGICALREP_COLUMN_TEXT);
outputstr = OidOutputFunctionCall(typclass->typoutput, values[i]);
pq_sendcountedtext(out, outputstr, strlen(outputstr), false);
pfree(outputstr);
}

Attached is a samll patch to fix it.

+1. Binary mode uses block level variable outputbytes, so making
outputstr block level is fine IMO.

Patch basically looks good to me, but it doesn't apply on my system.
Looks like it's not created with git commit. Please create the patch
with git commit command.

Thanks for reviewing! Attached v2 as you suggested.

Agreed, done.

For context, I'm not usually in favor of making one-off stylistic
improvements: the benefit seldom outweighs the risk of creating
merge hazards for future back-patching. But in this case, the
code involved is mostly new in v14, so improving it now doesn't
cost anything in that way.
