Correct docs for the default locale_provider of a new database.
If the locale provider is not specified, it defaults to be the same as the template from which it was created. Previously, the documentation said the default was libc. Also adjust wording of CREATE DATABASE and CREATE COLLATION docs to be definite that there are exactly two possible collation providers.
