Seems to work as described with -E UTF-8, but it fails with clusters

unpatched master succeeds):

pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: from TOC entry 1700; 3456 12683 COLLATION af-NA-x-icu tmunro

"pg_catalog.af-NA-x-icu" for encoding "SQL_ASCII" does not exist
Command was: ALTER COLLATION pg_catalog."af-NA-x-icu" OWNER TO tmunro;
This could be addressed by using is_encoding_supported_by_icu() in
pg_dump to filter out collations with unsupported encodings.
However, the more I look at this whole problem, I'm wondering whether it
wouldn't be preferable to avoid this whole mess by just not creating any
collations in initdb. What do you think?
