Back-patch "Tolerate version lookup failure for old style Windows locale names."

If users provide old style pre-standardized Windows locale names in a
CREATE COLLATION command, the OS is unable to provide version
information. Continue without capturing version information, rather
than exposing an OS error.

This was originally done in commit 9f12a3b9 for 14 only, to support
future features that might encounter old style names from initdb's
default. It wasn't done in 13 because I didn't consider that users
might actually want to use the old format explicitly (something we
should consider blocking in a future release with a better error
message, but that's not a policy we've decided on yet).

Back-patch to 13, based on the field complaint in pgsql-bugs #17058.
