Fix theoretical memory leaks in pg_locale_libc.c.

The leaks were hard to reach in practice and the impact was low.

The callers provide a buffer the same number of bytes as the source
string (plus one for NUL terminator) as a starting size, and libc
never increases the number of characters. But, if the byte length of
one of the converted characters is larger, then it might need a larger
destination buffer. Previously, in that case, the working buffers
would be leaked.

Even in that case, the call typically happens within a context that
will soon be reset. Regardless, it's worth fixing to avoid such
assumptions, and the fix is simple so it's worth backporting.
