Thomas Munro 9c7acc3330 Reject non-ASCII locale names. 
Commit bf03cfd1 started scanning all available BCP 47 locale names on
Windows.  This caused an abort/crash in the Windows runtime library if
the default locale name contained non-ASCII characters, because of our
use of the setlocale() save/restore pattern with "char" strings.  After
switching to another locale with a different encoding, the saved name
could no longer be understood, and setlocale() would abort.

"Turkish_Türkiye.1254" is the example from recent reports, but there are
other examples of countries and languages with non-ASCII characters in
their names, and they appear in Windows' (old style) locale names.

To defend against this:

1.  In initdb, reject non-ASCII locale names given explicity on the
command line, or returned by the operating system environment with
setlocale(..., ""), or "canonicalized" by the operating system when we
set it.

2.  In initdb only, perform the save-and-restore with Windows'
non-standard wchar_t variant of setlocale(), so that it is not subject
to round trip failures stemming from char string encoding confusion.

3.  In the backend, we don't have to worry about the save-and-restore
problem because we have already vetted the defaults, so we just have to
make sure that CREATE DATABASE also rejects non-ASCII names in any new
databases.  SET lc_XXX doesn't suffer from the problem, but the ban
applies to it too because it uses check_locale().  CREATE COLLATION
doesn't suffer from the problem either, but it doesn't use
check_locale() so it is not included in the new ban for now, to minimize
the change.

Anyone who encounters the new error message should either create a new
duplicated locale with an ASCII-only name using Windows Locale Builder,
or consider using BCP 47 names like "tr-TR".  Users already couldn't
initialize a cluster with "Turkish_Türkiye.1254" on PostgreSQL 16+, but
the new failure mode is an error message that explains why, instead of a
crash.

Back-patch to 16, where bf03cfd1 landed.  Older versions are affected
in theory too, but only 16 and later are causing crash reports.
