Jeff Davis 5e6e42e44f Force LC_COLLATE to C in postmaster.
Avoid dependence on setlocale().

strcoll(), etc., are not called directly; all collation-sensitive
calls should go through pg_locale.c and use the appropriate
provider. By setting LC_COLLATE to C, we avoid accidentally depending
on libc behavior when using a different provider.

No behavior change in the backend, but it's possible that some
extensions will be affected. Such extensions should be updated to use
the pg_locale_t APIs.
