Done.

Done, the same way collate.icu.utf8.sql does it. This test also uses the
Turkish collation tr-x-icu.

I think adding a release note is fine. We discussed this in [1] already
and there's precedence for doing it this way. See [2].

Looking at [3], it seems like we don't include release notes in
bug fix commits but rather collect them retroactively before cutting the
release. The file doc/src/sgml/release-19.sgml is also still completely
empty on master.
