This allows a user to request a specific version of an encoding, like
the version 10.0.0 of Unicode encoded in utf8.

Supporting specific versions of encodings is important to ensure
stability of names in filesystems, specially when doing transformations
like casefold and normalization.  Even for unicode, where defined
code-points are stable, there is instability for code points that
weren't defined on a previous version, so the user might want to use an
older version of the encoding to ensure the encoding is exact.

Not every NLS charset supports this feature.  It doesn't make sense for
many of them, like ASCII.  Others just don't implement it yet, and never
will.  In those cases, the interface allows the caller to get the
un-versioned charset, which is the same original behavior as if this
patch weren't applied.  A user that is not interested in a specific
version can also ask for a versioned charset without specifying the
version, and in this case, NLS will return the latest version available
of that charset.
