So, valgrind is noisy here because the incomplete byte sequence
\x8b passed as input of the function after a valid byte sequence
causes pg_encoding_mblen() to return 2, which is 1 byte passed the end
of the actual string.  report_invalid_encoding() is careful to not
show any data passed in its input.  I am not really sure that this is
worth bothering with here, TBH.  As far as I know this is related to
the fact that we want test_enc_conversion() to be flexible enough to
accept any kind of input, working as a cheap shortcut to call these
internal encoding routines.  What do you think?

Thanks.  I was missing the -DUSE_VALGRIND.
