I am --- when I redid the GUC assign_hook logic a few weeks ago,
I changed the client_encoding code so that it shows the normalized
(official) name of the encoding, not whatever random string the client
sent over.  For instance, previous versions:

regression=# set client_encoding = 'UnIcOdE';
SET
regression=# show client_encoding ;
 client_encoding 
-----------------
 UnIcOdE
(1 row)

versus HEAD:

regression=# set client_encoding = 'UnIcOdE';
SET
regression=# show client_encoding ;
 client_encoding 
-----------------
 UTF8
(1 row)

I wasn't aware that JDBC would fail on that.  It's pretty annoying that
it does, but maybe we should grin and bear it, ie revert the change to
canonicalize the GUC's value?
