lib/locale.t: Skip testing known incompatible locales
Some locales are incompatible with Perl. The only multi-byte locale
accepted, are UTF-8 ones, for example. ISO 646 ones also can have
things like a '|' be a \w, which will create havoc with regular
expressions. This commit causes locale.t to not test such locales, and
to note which ones are skipped, and why. Doing the tests can create
segfaults. For example locales with state can have their states screwed
up by Perl, which knows nothing about that. One could argue that the
locale should be immune from bad state, and not segfault, but that is
not under Perl's control, and we will get blamed initially, anyway, when
a segfault happens.
The multi-byte locales are more incompatible with Perl than the 7-bit
locales that aren't ASCII compatible. So it could be argued that those
should be tested, but I don't want to undertake the work to separate out
the two causes from each other. The ISO 646 locales are essentially
obsolete, and there would be little pay off for doing that work.

t/loc_tools.pl: Complement sense of optional parameter
Most often we want to only look at locales that are compatible with
Perl. Make that the default for the optional parameter.

t/loc_tools.pl: Fix not catching incompatible locales
This is looking for a warning generated by the core when a setlocale is
done to one that it deems incompatible with Perl. However, the warning
isn't generated unless locales are being used, as Perl mostly ignores
locales, so even if the background one is incompatible, it doesn't
matter.

Move bulk of POSIX::setlocale to locale.c
This is the first step in making an XS callable setlocale() which
is generalized to work with POSIX 2008 locale operations while retaining
essentially the same API.
