Here's a reviewed version of 0001. You missed fixing the MSVC build,
and there were assorted comments and other things referencing wchar.c
that needed to be cleaned up.

Also, it seemed to me that if we are going to move wchar.c, we should
also move encnames.c, so that libpq can get fully out of the
symlinking-source-files business. It makes initdb less weird too.

I took the liberty of sticking proper copyright headers onto these
two files, too. (This makes the diff a lot more bulky :-(. Would
it help to add the headers in a separate commit?)

Another thing I'm wondering about is if any of the #ifndef FRONTEND
code should get moved *back* to src/backend/utils/mb. But that
could be a separate commit, too.

Lastly, it strikes me that maybe pg_wchar.h, or parts of it, should
migrate over to src/include/common. But that'd be far more invasive
to other source files, so I've not touched the issue here.
