Fix pg_strtof() to not crash on NULL endptr.

We had managed not to notice this simple oversight because none
of our calls exercised the case --- until commit 8f427187d.
That led to pg_dump crashing on any platform that uses this code
(currently Cygwin and Mingw).

Even though there's no immediate bug in the back branches, backpatch,
because a non-POSIX-compliant strtof() substitute is trouble waiting
to happen for extensions or future back-patches.
