Description:        psql don't accept some valid PGCLIENTENCODING values

Details:

Hello!
First of all, sorry for my English :(.

The problem:
With PGCLIENTENCODING=KOI8 and server encoding UNICODE
psql do not starts and print this message:

  psql: FATAL:  invalid value for parameter "client_encoding": "KOI8"

But, if I unset PGCLIENTENCODING, and in psql enter:

  template1=# \encoding KOI8

then psql accept client encoding:

  template1=# \encoding
  KOI8

  template1=# show client_encoding;
   client_encoding
  -----------------
   KOI8
  (1 row)
