Slightly better version:

* it's OK to keep relying on the global locale in the backend; for
now, we know that LC_NUMERIC is set in main(), and in the
multi-threaded future calling setlocale() even transiently will be
banned, so it seems it'll be OK to just keep doing that, right?

* we could use LC_C_LOCALE to get a "C" locale slightly more
efficiently on those; we could define it ourselves for other systems,
using pg_get_c_locale()
