IIUC pg_regress --no-locale will call initdb --no-locale which force the locale
to C, and in that case pg_get_encoding_from_locale() does force SQL_ASCII as
encoding. But yes I clearly didn't think at all that you could set the various
env variables to C.utf8 which can then run the collate.icu.utf8 or linux.utf8
