Introduce "builtin" collation provider.
New provider for collations, like "libc" or "icu", but without any
external dependency.
Initially, the only locale supported by the builtin provider is "C",
which is identical to the libc provider's "C" locale. The libc
provider's "C" locale has always been treated as a special case that
uses an internal implementation, without using libc at all -- so the
new builtin provider uses the same implementation.
The builtin provider's locale is independent of the server environment
variables LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE. Using the builtin provider, the
database collation locale can be "C" while LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE are
set to "en_US", which is impossible with the libc provider.
By offering a new builtin provider, it clarifies that the semantics of
a collation using this provider will never depend on libc, and makes
it easier to document the behavior.
