Subject: [PATCH v9 2/3] Add pg_strcoll(), pg_strxfrm(), and variants.

In preparation for multi-lib ICU, which should be based on a clean
separation of the routines required for collation providers. Also
offers a generally better separation of responsibilities.

Callers with NUL-terminated strings should call pg_strcoll() or
pg_strxfrm(); callers with strings and their length should call the
variants pg_strncoll() or pg_strnxfrm().

Also remove the TRUST_STRXFRM define, and replace with a developer GUC
for easier testing.
