Fix char2wchar/wchar2char to support collations properly.
These functions should take a pg_locale_t, not a collation OID, and should call mbstowcs_l/wcstombs_l where available. Where those functions are not available, temporarily select the correct locale with uselocale(). This change removes the bogus assumption that all locales selectable in a given database have the same wide-character conversion method; in particular, the collate.linux.utf8 regression test now passes with LC_CTYPE=C, so long as the database encoding is UTF8. I decided to move the char2wchar/wchar2char functions out of mbutils.c and into pg_locale.c, because they work on wchar_t not pg_wchar_t and thus don't really belong with the mbutils.c functions. Keeping them where they were would have required importing pg_locale_t into pg_wchar.h somehow, which did not seem like a good plan.
