Because the villagers will come after you; see commit
0b13b2a7712b6f91590b7589a314240a14520c2f.

It's possible that there's an argument for not de-duplicating ICU
collation names even though we must do so for libc collation names.
But I'm not exactly sure what that would be.  Having initdb fail if
the ICU configuration is funny isn't going to endear us to anyone.
