    Fix integer-overflow and alignment hazards in locale-related code.
    
    pg_locale_icu.c was full of places where a very long input string
    could cause integer overflow while calculating a buffer size,
    leading to buffer overruns.
    
    It also was cavalier about using char-type local arrays as buffers
    holding arrays of UChar.  The alignment of a char[] variable isn't
    guaranteed, so that this risked failure on alignment-picky platforms.
    The lack of complaints suggests that such platforms are very rare
    nowadays; but it's likely that we are paying a performance price on
    rather more platforms.  Declare those arrays as UChar[] instead,
    keeping their physical size the same.
    
    pg_locale_libc.c's strncoll_libc_win32_utf8() also had the
    disease of assuming it could double or quadruple the input
    string length without concern for overflow.
