Change output is a very easy work (edit strings in one array). The
important thing is clean internal code for encoding names to faster
and non-duplicated code (use same code for FE and BE).
Well, I prepare it with total back compatible output for all current
routines (pg_char_to_encoding too) and new names will visible by new
routines only (suggested database_character_set(), etc). Right?
