I got started on this and just wanted to post an intermediate patch. I have
taken the logic from initdb and placed it into libpq and refined the API a
bit. At this point, there should be no behaviorial change. It remains to
make libpq use this stuff if PGCLIENTENCODING is not set. Unless someone
beats me, I'll figure that out later.
