Ctrl-C on JSONB string creates badly quoted contents

[riuttner]

Trying to copy any JSONB contents from Data Output window by keystroke Ctrl-C ends up with a copy buffer containing a double-quoted string, having all double quotes inside doubled.

Execute:
select '{"a":"bbb", "c":"ddd"}'::jsonb

Double click single result opens a view showing:

{
   "a": "bbb",
   "c": "ddd"
}

Select all lines, press Ctrl-C, paste contents anywhere in pgadmin or in any text editor. This will yield the wrong result:
"{""a"": ""bbb"", ""c"": ""ddd""}"

Expected result is:
{"a":"bbb", "c":"ddd"}

This bug also appears for contents of type JSON, not only for JSONB. I could observe it all the time after upgrading from 8.12 to 8.13. Apparently the latest release just accidentally uses the wrong quotes for copied JSON strings, which internally also leads to doubled double quotes.
