It emerges that recent versions of Windows (at least 2016 Standard)
spell this locale name as "Norwegian Bokmål_Norway.1252", defeating
our mapping code that translates "Norwegian (Bokmål)_Norway" to
something that's all-ASCII (cf commits db29620d4 and aa1d2fc5e).
Add another mapping entry to handle this spelling.
Per bug #16068 from Robert Ford. Like the previous patches,
back-patch to all supported branches.

The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak.
The main changes visible in this commit are:
* Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations.
* No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts,
sizeof, or offsetof.
* No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as
well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers.
* Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely.
* Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed
with no space separating them from the code.
* Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels.
* Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less
than the expected column 33.
On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef
names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to
put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in
indent itself.
There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment
indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted
to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without
one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the
changes as much as practical.

Previous fix mapped "Norwegian (Bokmål)" locale, which contains a non-ASCII
character, to the pure ASCII alias "norwegian-bokmal". However, it turns
out that more recent versions of the CRT library, in particular MSVCR110
(Visual Studio 2012), changed the behaviour of setlocale() so that if
you pass "norwegian-bokmal" to setlocale, it returns "Norwegian_Norway".
That meant trouble, when setlocale(..., NULL) first returned
"Norwegian (Bokmål)_Norway", which we mapped to "norwegian-bokmal_Norway",
but another call to setlocale(..., "norwegian-bokmal_Norway") returned
"Norwegian_Norway". That caused PostgreSQL to think that they are different
locales, and therefore not compatible. That caused initdb to fail at
CREATE DATABASE.
Older CRT versions seem to accept "Norwegian_Norway" too, so change the
mapping to return "Norwegian_Norway" instead of "norwegian-bokmal".
Backpatch to 9.2 like the previous attempt. We haven't made a release that
includes the previous fix yet, so we don't need to worry about changing the
locale of existing clusters from "norwegian-bokmal" to "Norwegian_Norway".
(Doing any mapping like this at all requires changing the locale of
existing databases; the release notes need to include instructions for
that).
Windows has one a locale whose name contains a non-ASCII character:
"Norwegian (Bokmål)" (that's an 'a' with a ring on top). That causes
trouble; when passing it setlocale(), it's not clear what encoding the
argument should be in. Another problem is that the locale name is stored in
pg_database catalog table, and the encoding used there depends on what
server encoding happens to be in use when the database is created. For
example, if you issue the CREATE DATABASE when connected to a UTF-8
database, the locale name is stored in pg_database in UTF-8. As long as all
locale names are pure ASCII, that's not a problem.
To work around that, map the troublesome locale name to a pure-ASCII alias
of the same locale, "norwegian-bokmal".
Now, this doesn't change the existing values that are already in
pg_database and in postgresql.conf. Old clusters will need to be fixed
manually. Instructions for that need to be put in the release notes.
This fixes bug #11431 reported by Alon Siman-Tov. Backpatch to 9.2;
backpatching further would require more work than seems worth it.
on Windows. ecpglib doesn't link with libpgport, but picks and compiles
the .c files it needs individually. To cope with that, move the setlocale()
wrapper from chklocale.c to a separate setlocale.c file, and include that
in ecpglib.
