Re: pgagent unicode support

Thanks Sergey for the patch.

Sure Dave. 

There is some compilation warning in linux, I will fix those and test pgAgent in windows and update the thread.

Currently pgagent doesn't handle unicode correctly.

CharToWString function corrupt multibyte characters because it processes
string one byte at a time:
 148         std::string s = std::string(cstr);
 149         std::wstring wsTmp(s.begin(), s.end());

WStringToChar function does not take into account that there can be
_multi_byte character on wcstombs output and create buffer with
size = wcslen:
 157         int wstr_length = wcslen(wchar_str);
 158         char *dst = new char[wstr_length + 10];

Also pgagent do not setup locale with setlocale(), without it all
wcs/mbs functions cannot handle multibyte strings.

For example:

=== step code ===
select 'это проверка кириллицы в теле запроса pgagent'
=================

=== postgres log ===
2021-02-05 23:19:05 UTC [15600-1] postgres@postgres ERROR:  unterminated quoted string at or near "'" at character 8
2021-02-05 23:19:05 UTC [15600-2] postgres@postgres STATEMENT:  select '
====================

Please see attached patch.
I only test it on GNU/Linux and can't test it on Windows, sorry.

Thanks for the patch! Neel/Ashesh; can you take a look please? It looks OK to me, but then I'm not overly familiar with multibyte string handling. What, if anything, needs to be done on Windows?
