On other Windows build farm animals it is already skipped because they
don't use UTF-8 encoding. On "hamerkop", UTF-8 is used, and then the
test fails.
It is not clear to me (a non-Windows person looking only at buildfarm
evidence) whether Windows is less sophisticated than other OSes and
doesn't know how to downcase Turkish İ with the standard Unicode
database, or if it is more sophisticated than other systems and uses
locale-specific behavior like ICU does.
Whichever the reason, the result is the same: we need to skip the test
on Windows, just as we already do for ICU, at least until a
Windows-savvy developer comes up with a better idea. The technique for
detecting the OS is borrowed from collate.windows.win1252.sql.
This was anticipated by commit c2e8bd27, but the problem only surfaced
when Windows build farm animals started using Meson.

The GUC settings lc_collate and lc_ctype are from a time when those
locale settings were cluster-global. When those locale settings were
made per-database (PG 8.4), the settings were kept as read-only. As
of PG 15, you can use ICU as the per-database locale provider, so
examining these settings is already less meaningful and possibly
confusing, since you need to look into pg_database to find out what is
really happening, and they would likely become fully obsolete in the
future anyway.

These test cases have been commented out since citext was invented,
because at the time we had no nice way to deal with tests that
have restrictions such as requiring UTF8 encoding. But now we do
have a convention for that, ie put them into a separate test file
with an early-exit path. So let's enable these tests to run when
their prerequisites are satisfied.
(We may have to tighten the prerequisites beyond the "encoding = UTF8
and locale != C" checks made here. But let's put it on the buildfarm
and see what blows up.)
