locale.c: Make sure UTF-8 flag is off on a scalar
The contents of this scalar at this moment are the name of a code set,
such as CP1252, UTF-8, 8859-1, etc. I believe all such names contain
just ASCII characters.
I finally got around to checking if the sv_setpvf() functions clear the
UTF-8 flag. They don't. GH #21921 adds documentation to that effect.
One of those functions was used to populate this SV. Since the result
is ASCII, the UTF-8 flag is immaterial except for performance. Prior to
this commit, it retained its previous value, but its better practice
(and can speed things up a bit) to turn it off for ASCII content.
