locale.c: Revamp S_stdize_locale()
We are now able to parse and construct non-uniform LC_ALL strings. A
big part of this function was trying to deal with these, but now that
can be farmed out.
It's now extremely unlikely this function will now actually change
anything, based on recent field experience. To save copying that
therefore won't likely ever be needed, this function now returns its
input if unchanged, and a mortalized copy if it unlikely does need to be
changed. That means it no longer needs a buffer reserved for it.
The input is going to be the static global buffer pointed to by the
return of setlocale(). That means calls to this function need to be
protected by mutexes in threaded systems (the same as before this
commit), and the result safely copied during the critical section.

Rename the buffer in S_less_dicey_locale
It was reusing the buffer formerly used by S_stdize_locale(), but now
its only use is from this function, so name it accordingly.

S_stdize_locale() Rmv testing for spurious '='
This code had been added to counteract occasional cases of improper
syntax in a locale string. Other fixes to the locale handling have
resulted in those cases not now showing up. It was never clear if the
changes that code made to the locale name were actually the right thing
to do.
Now, we have the ability to correctly parse locale strings on all
platforms tested on. If there is a problem with a platform, the parsing
discovers it and returns an error, which stdize_locale() checks for and
also returns an error if found, and so on back up the line to the user
calling code.

Log Message:
-----------
Compile stdize_setlocale() only if requested
This very old function has been whittled down to just looking for
newlines in returned locales. Those just haven't come up in platforms
we have tested on in recent years. Therefore, this is extra work on
most, or perhaps all platforms. Should a platform show that this is
still needed, its hints file can be changed to add a Configure option.
As a result parse_LC_ALL_string is used in more places.

Properly handle broken setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL)
Early AIX versions could return a truncated value in this case.

Tests were skipped as a result by
59b4d2932ceb16662879bca2a22315c3597276ae.
This commit adds an easy workaround for this bug, changes the AIX hints
file to enable it; the next commit will revert the test skipping.

Revert "AIX: skip some locale tests"
This reverts commit 59b4d2932ceb16662879bca2a22315c3597276ae.
which was a temporary fix for 5.38.0.
And now a workaround is in place for the defective libc implementation.

locale.c: Create STDIZED_SETLOCALE_LOCK
Its best to use a mutex associated with the operation. This creates one
for stdized_setlocale(), which is just an alias for another mutex.
