Package the rest of the locales as glibc-locales

Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) requested to merge heftig/glibc:locales into main
  • Use provided target to install C.UTF-8 locale
    The previous code used localedef from lib32 and was also missing I18NPATH.

    The build system already has targets for installing locales, but the split build makes invoking them a bit more difficult.

    This installs the locale as C.utf8, which glibc seems to prefer.

  • Use DESTDIR instead of install_root
    Both work but DESTDIR is less weird.

  • Improve shell hygiene

    • Rename skip_test() to _skip_test()
    • Use subshell to prevent LDFLAGS change from leaking out of check()
    • Use subshells to prevent environment leaks from builds
  • Package the rest of the locales as glibc-locales
    These are useful for checkdepends. Use hardlink to find duplicate files, which reduces the installed size from 1007 MB to 234 MB.

    See: archlinux/devtools#90
