Hoo, good point.  You can assume the database (server) encoding, because
that's what the local encoding is from the point of view of libpq ---
and the code in conninfo_parse knows nothing of encodings anyway.  So
that's a no-op as far as the quoting itself goes.  But that reminds me,
weren't you going to add something to force libpq to set client_encoding
to the database encoding?
