XXX audit posix.t: Correct saving/restoring locales
This code assumed that setlocale returned the old locale. Instead it
returns the new one. A separate setlocale() call is needed to get the
previous locale value.

toke.c: Set locale for all scan_num() calls; restore instead of reset
One call of Perl_scan_num changes the locale around it. However, this
function is called in several places, including from outside the file.
It is better to set the locale within scan_num() at the point where
it matters. And, instead of setting the locale unconditionally, it is
better to change it only if it needs to be changed, and restore it to
the original. Otherwise the locale can be changed to something
unexpected.

If there had been documentation referring to these macros, I would have
known they existed instead of reinventing them (not as well as the
originals).

POSIX:strtod() should restore the locale it changed
Prior to this commit, the locale remained as strtod() set it to. I
could not find a case where this actually was a problem, as the other
code is good about checking for and changing the locale where needed.
But uses of atoi(), strtol() in locales where there are spaces in
numbers likely would break.

perl.h: Revise another locale setting macro
We generally don't want to switch to the default underlying locale
unless we are in the scope of some form of 'use locale'. Prior to this
commit, this code did not allow the switch for
'use locale ":not_characters"'.

perl.h: Revise a locale setting macro
This macro toggles to the C locale. It should not depend on being in
the scope of 'use locale' to do that, so remove the check. I couldn't
figure out a test case for this, but I'm pretty sure there is a some
convoluted scheme that this change averts a bug from.

locale.c: Avoid writing libc static storage
I don't believe this code was causing any problem, but it can overwrite
static storage returned by setlocale(). It's safer to create a copy
first.

Hide some undocumented functions from perlapi
These functions should not be called from any other places than they are
now. They have been marked in the public API as undocumented. I
presume they are there because they are called from various parts of the
Perl core, so can't be static. But this suppresses them from being
listed so people won't be tempted to use them.

perl.c: Remove no-longer necessary function call
This call during initialization toggles the LC_NUMERIC locale to the C
locale, where it usually stays. But the previous commmit added doing
this to the central calls for changing locales, where it should have
been all along, so this is no longer necessary.

PATCH: [perl #120723] Setting LC_NUMERIC breaks parsing of constants
LC_NUMERIC is handled differently than the other locale categories,
in that for this category, Perl normally stays in the C locale,
converting to the underlying locale for brief periods, only when
necessary. This is undocumented (until the commit following this one).
The problem was that when POSIX::setlocale() is called, it changes the
locale, which is correct only if called during those places where the
underlying locale is supposed to be in effect, or if the new locale is
the C locale.
This commit simply adds code to change the locale back to the C locale
if appropriate.

locale.c: Always set state variables for a new locale
This function is called when a new underlying LC_NUMERIC locale has been
set. If that locale is the same as the current underlying one, some
setup is skipped. However, prior to this commit, more was skipped than
should have been. The reason is that even if the underlying locale is
the same, it could be that LC_NUMERIC has been toggled to the "C"
locale, and so the information could be inconsistent. By always setting
the information, we ensure consistency.
This commit ia a portion of the fix for [perl #120723]. Tests will be
added with the final commit for it.

lib/locale.t: Add tests
Commit b99851e1941e002dd4816ee6c76fd49bbee1d7f3 should have added tests
in two places. This adds them in the second place, plus a cautionary
comment. The reason for the two places is the alternative I can think
of is to use a string eval, but that perturbs the test environment so
might affect the outcome.
