intl: Treat C.UTF-8 locale like C locale (BZ# 16621)
The wiki page https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/C.UTF-8 says that "Setting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 will ignore LANGUAGE just like it does with LC_ALL=C." This patch implements it. * intl/dcigettext.c (guess_category_value): Treat C.<encoding> locale like the C locale. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
