Oops.  Beta2 tagging is very close by, so I think that it would be
better to not take a risk on that now, and this is an issue only when
upgrading from v15 where datcollprovider is ICU for a database.
As things stand, someone using beta1 with this new feature, running
pg_upgrade to beta2 would lose any non-libc locale provider set.
