Tom Lane 8f8a5df694 Make initdb behave sanely when the selected locale has codeset "US-ASCII".
Per discussion, this should result in defaulting to SQL_ASCII encoding.
The original coding could not support that because it conflated selection
of SQL_ASCII encoding with not being able to determine the encoding.
Adjust pg_get_encoding_from_locale()'s API to distinguish these cases,
and fix callers appropriately.  Only initdb actually changes behavior,
since the other callers were perfectly content to consider these cases
equivalent.

Per bug #5178 from Boh Yap.  Not going to bother back-patching, since
no one has complained before and there's an easy workaround (namely,
specify the encoding you want).

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
