doc: Fix description of deterministic flag of CREATE COLLATION

The documentation said that you need to pick a suitable LC_COLLATE
setting in addition to setting the DETERMINISTIC flag.  This would
have been correct if the libc provider supported nondeterministic
collations, but since it doesn't, you actually need to set the LOCALE
option.
