Okay, so here are two patches. I had already used the name
stringinfo_mb.c, so that's what's v19. (I'm fine with renaming it to
appendquoted.c but we might gain other such functions in the future.
Other opinions?)

The other patch (v18) puts the new function together with moving wchar
to pgcommon.

The API is different in each case: if we want it available in frontend,
we need to pass the encoding as a parameter rather than use
GetDatabaseEncoding().

This is pg_waldump with the first patch (src/utils/mb/stringinfo_mb.c):

$ nm --print-size /pgsql/install/master/bin/pg_waldump | grep -i stringinfo

This is with v18:

$ nm --print-size /pgsql/install/master/bin/pg_waldump | grep -i stringinfo
000000000000c8f0 0000000000000060 T appendBinaryStringInfo

While the function itself is tiny (though it's the largest of all
stringinfo functions, hmm), it has led to a rather huge bloating of the
binary. That's because the new binary contains a number of functions
from wchar.c, like you said, such as

$ nm --print-size /pgsql/install/master/bin/pg_waldump | grep dsplen
000000000000d820 0000000000000026 t pg_ascii_dsplen
000000000000e200 0000000000000005 t pg_big5_dsplen
000000000000eb30 0000000000000030 T pg_encoding_dsplen
000000000000dac0 000000000000002e t pg_euccn_dsplen
000000000000d960 0000000000000036 t pg_eucjp_dsplen
000000000000d9b0 000000000000002e t pg_euckr_dsplen
000000000000dc10 000000000000002e t pg_euctw_dsplen
000000000000e230 0000000000000005 t pg_gb18030_dsplen
000000000000e210 0000000000000005 t pg_gbk_dsplen
000000000000dd10 0000000000000005 t pg_johab_dsplen
000000000000e170 0000000000000026 t pg_latin1_dsplen
000000000000e0f0 0000000000000034 t pg_mule_dsplen
000000000000e1c0 0000000000000036 t pg_sjis_dsplen
000000000000e220 0000000000000005 t pg_uhc_dsplen
000000000000e870 000000000000013e t pg_utf_dsplen

and some others.

All in all, it seems like v19 is the way to go.
