Use ESCAPE ''. There isn't any other way provided. I suppose we might
consider inventing a separate GUC parameter to specify what the default
escape sequence is, but we wouldn't overload any existing parameter to
do it.
I think the reason the issue hasn't come up before is that it doesn't
seem real useful: if you have no escape character then you have no
way to quote % and _, and those are at least as likely to need to be
plain data characters as \ is.
