Revert "Speed up tail processing when hashing aligned C strings, take two"

This reverts commit a365d9e. Older versions of Valgrind raise an error, so go back to the bytewise loop for the final word in the input. Reported-by: Anton A. Melnikov <a.melnikov@postgrespro.ru> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/a3a959f6-14b8-4819-ac04-eaf2aa2e868d@postgrespro.ru Backpatch-through: 17
