Bug #4695: Puppet should not reset locale

Puppet resets various locale related ENV variables to the posix default of 'C' 
immediately before invoked Kernel.exec to launch an executable (occurs when 
running a Single_exec in a recipe)

http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util.rb#L295

The problem is, the python interpreter will attempt to parse these variables to 
determine the default locale, and if it is set to 'C' (or not set at all as it 
will default to 'C'), 'None' will be returned, ignoring the true default locale.

Thus any python script launched via Single_exec from a puppet recipe will not 
be able to get the default locale by invoking locale.getdefaultlocale(). This 
functionality is part of the standard python library and is relied upon by many 
various Python scripts.
