Yes, % is not used in trailing bytes for all encodings, but _ is
used in some of them. I think we can use the optimization for all
of the server encodings except JOHAB.
Also, I took notice that locale settings are not used in LIKE matching,
so the following is enough for checking availability of byte-wise matching
functions. or am I missing something?
#define sb_match_available() (GetDatabaseEncoding() == PG_JOHAB))
Multi-byte encodings supported by a server encoding.

Just for reference, encodings only supported as a client encoding.
