Subject: [PATCH v2j] Fix ILIKE '%' followed by a non-ASCII byte in single-byte
 databases.

Commit 1e493158d3d changed the MATCH_LOWER implementation of GETCHAR()
from SB_lower_char() to use pg_ascii_tolower().  The former returned a
char, whereas the latter returns an unsigned char; but the local
variable in C_IMatchText was a char.

For single-byte encodings with ctype=C, that could lead to a broken
signed/unsigned comparison, such that the pattern U&'%\00C6' would
never match.

Fix by casting the result of pg_ascii_tolower() explicitly to char.
