we don't need to worry about primary key and foreign key with
different collation.
because it will be error out as incompatible data type,
foreign key constraint will not be created.

if there are the same collation, when we build the query string, we
don't need to worry about collation.
because at runtime, the operator associated oprcode
will fetch collation information later.

main operator and the main oprcode related to this patch(0001, 0002) are:
range_contained_by_multirange
range_eq
range_overlaps
range_contained_by
the first 3 functions will fetch collation information within range_cmp_bounds.
range_contained_by will fetch collation information in
range_contains_elem_internal.

demo:
CREATE COLLATION case_insensitive (provider = icu, locale =
'und-u-ks-level2', deterministic = false);
DROP TABLE IF exists temporal_fk_rng2rng;
DROP TABLE IF exists temporal_rng;
DROP TYPE textrange_case_insensitive;
create type textrange_case_insensitive as range(subtype=text,
collation=case_insensitive);
CREATE TABLE temporal_rng (id int4range, valid_at textrange_case_insensitive);
ALTER TABLE temporal_rng
ADD CONSTRAINT temporal_rng_pk
PRIMARY KEY (id, valid_at WITHOUT OVERLAPS);
CREATE TABLE temporal_fk_rng2rng (
id int4range,
valid_at  textrange_case_insensitive,
parent_id int4range,
CONSTRAINT temporal_fk_rng2rng_fk2 FOREIGN KEY (parent_id, PERIOD valid_at)
REFERENCES temporal_rng (id, PERIOD valid_at)
);
INSERT INTO temporal_rng (id, valid_at) VALUES ('[1,2)',
textrange_case_insensitive('c', 'h','[]'));

--fail
INSERT INTO temporal_fk_rng2rng (id, valid_at, parent_id)
VALUES ('[1,2)', textrange_case_insensitive('B', 'B','[]'), '[1,2)');

--fail.
INSERT INTO temporal_fk_rng2rng (id, valid_at, parent_id)
VALUES ('[1,2)', textrange_case_insensitive('a', 'F','[]'), '[1,2)');

--fail.
INSERT INTO temporal_fk_rng2rng (id, valid_at, parent_id)
VALUES ('[1,2)', textrange_case_insensitive('e', 'Z','[]'), '[1,2)');

--ok
INSERT INTO temporal_fk_rng2rng (id, valid_at, parent_id)
VALUES ('[1,2)', textrange_case_insensitive('d', 'F','[]'), '[1,2)');
