1. PG_LOCALE_PROVIDER is a documented user-facing option, which will
make it easier for users to set their preferred provider in scripts,
etc.
2. This change also creates default locales for the builtin and ICU
providers, so that initdb without any other locale options will succeed
regardless of the provider.
I broke these up into two patches as v3 to make it easier to
understand.
These patches are independently useful, but also important if we ever
want to change the initdb default to builtin or ICU.

Jeff Davis
