[Buildroot] [git commit] systemd: switch to C.UTF-8 locale when building

[Thomas Petazzoni]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=41569717c34a2334c8682985d8457447b9b5093a
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

When BR2_REPRODUCIBLE is enabled or host uses non UTF-8 capable locale
building systemd fails with an error:

[1/1080] Generating systemd.bg.catalog with a meson_exe.py custom command.
FAILED: catalog/systemd.bg.catalog

Warning: You are using 'ANSI_X3.4-1968' which is not a Unicode-compatible locale.
You might see errors if you use UTF-8 strings as filenames, as strings, or as file contents.
Please switch to a UTF-8 locale for your platform.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 1079: ordinal not in range(128)

make: *** [/buildroot/output/build/systemd-236/.stamp_built] Error 1

This patch changes default host system locale from C to C.UTF-8 when
building systemd package to fix this issue. It also introduces
BR2_NEEDS_HOST_C_UTF8_LOCALE flag that checks if this locale is available on
the host system. If locale is not available error message is show and build
process is stopped.
