Tom Lane bf4a9562e8 Make ts_locale.c's character-type functions cope with UTF-16.
On Windows, in UTF8 database encoding, what char2wchar() produces is
UTF16 not UTF32, ie, characters above U+FFFF will be represented by
surrogate pairs.  t_isdigit() and siblings did not account for this
and failed to provide a large enough result buffer.  That in turn
led to bogus "invalid multibyte character for locale" errors, because
contrary to what you might think from char2wchar()'s documentation,
its Windows code path doesn't cope sanely with buffer overflow.

The solution for t_isdigit() and siblings is pretty clear: provide
a 3-wchar_t result buffer not 2.

char2wchar() also needs some work to provide more consistent, and more
accurately documented, buffer overrun behavior.  But that's a bigger job
and it doesn't actually have any immediate payoff, so leave it for later.

Per bug #15476 from Kenji Uno, who deserves credit for identifying the
cause of the problem.  Back-patch to all active branches.

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:

	https://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.  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
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
