  loc_tools: Create function, refactor

category_excluded() is a better name for what the current name
'is_category_valid" does.  And it turns out that we need to use this
function on (those few) systems that don't have LC_CTYPE to avoid
executing code that depends on LC_CTYPE.

And we do need an improved is_category_valid() for other checks.

  t/loc_tools.pl: Print better failing test numbers

This test module is 'required' from other perl test files.  If it
encounters an error, it doesn't know how to report it.  What it does is
call fail() if available, and a home-grown one otherwise.  Prior to this
commit the home-grown version just made all tests number 0.  This commit
changes that to make them sequentially numbered from a very high
starting one, so as not to interfere with the outer calls.

This function is used to see if a locale actually works on the current

locale, and LC_CTYPE is in another.  This makes sure they are both the
same; and this results in some simplification.

This commit checks that we aren't already in the desired locale before
changing locales. and does nothing if no change is needed.

Prior to this commit, there was a near duplicate copy of the code from
util.c that implements my_strftime().  This was done because the util.c
version zaps the wday field, which made it incompatible.

But it dawned on me that if the arbitrary date we use to do our
calculations were such that it was for a year in which the wday field
gets zapped to the value we want it to be, then the util.c version
automatically works.  This happens in years when January 1 falls on a
Sunday.

On platforms without nl_langinfo(), we derive the currency symbol from

standards.  Prior to this commit, it guessed at how to tweak a rare
circumstance.  I found evidence this guess was wrong, so looked around,
and copied the way cygwin does it.

This also no longer returns just an empty string in certain cases.
nl_langinfo() itself doesn't, so conform to that.

  locale.c: Fix Windows bug with broken localeconv()

localeconv() was broken on Windows until VS 2015.  As a workaround, this
was using my_snprintf() to find what the decimal point character is,
trying to avoid our workaround for localeconv(), which has a (slight)
chance of a race condition.

The problem is that my_snprintf() might not end up calling snprintf at
all; I didn't trace all possibilities in Windows.  So it doesn't make
for a reliable sentinel.

This commit now specifically uses libc snprintf(), and if it fails, drops
down to try localeconv().

It also changes things so that if localeconv() is not present at all or
usable on the platform, to use this snprintf method.

  embed.fnc: Also check for NL_LANGINFO_L

The preprocessor directives were only flooking for plain nl_langinfo().
It's quite unlikely that a platform will have the '_l' version without
also having the plain one.  But this makes sure.

  locale.c: Make static fcn reentrant

This makes my_langinfo() reentrant by adding parameters specifying where
to store the result.

This prepares for future commits, and fixes some minor bugs for XS
writers, in that the claim was that the buffer in calling
Perl_langinfo() was safe from getting zapped until the next call to it
in the same thread.  It turns out there were cases where, because of
internal calls, the buffer did get zapped.

  locale.c: Improve non-nl_langinfo() CODESET calc

Prior to this commit, on non-Windows platforms that don't have a
nl_langinfo() libc function, the code completely punted computation of
the CODESET item.  I have not been able to figure out how to do this,
even going to the locale definition files on disk (which may vary
anyway), but we can do a lot better than punting.

This commit adds three checks:

1) If the locale name is C or POSIX, we know the codeset

2) We can detect if a locale is UTF-8.  If it is, that is the codeset.
Many modern locales are of this ilk.

3) Failing that, some locales have the codeset appear in the name,
following a dot.

It isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than completely punting.

This commit changes the calling sequence for my_langinfo to add the
desired locale, and the locale category of the desired item.

This allows the function to be able to return the desired value for any
locale, avoiding some locale changes that would happen until this
commit, and hiding the need for locale changes from outside functions,
though a couple continue to do so to avoid potential multiple changes.

  locale.: Need CTYPE to match other category for nl_langinfo

nl_langinfo knows about various components of locales that are supposed
to be defined for every locale, such as a string for a Yes/No response
or the name of a month in a particular language.  These are associated
with various locale categories.  In the examples cited, the month names
are in the LC_TIME category, and the responses in the LC_MESSAGES one.
But (perhaps because these are text strings), some platforms require the
LC_CTYPE locale to be the same as the other locale.  cygwin is an
example.  Rather than try to figure out which platform require this, and
which do not, it is a simple matter to just LC_CTYPE at the same time as
the other category

Previous commits have added the infrastructure to be able to determine
if a locale is UTF-8.  This will prove useful, and this commit adds
a function to encapsulate this information, and uses it in a couple of
places, with more to come in future commits.

This uses as a final fallback, mbtowc(), supposed to be available in
C99.  Future commits will add heuristics when that function isn't
available or is known to be unreliable on a particular system.

  XXX perldelta Move POSIX::localeconv() logic to locale.c

The code currently in POSIX.xs is moved to locale.c, and reworked some
to fit in that scheme, and the logic for the workaround for the Windows
broken localeconv() is made more robust.

This is in preparation for the next commit which will use this logic
instead of (imperfectly) duplicating it.

This also creates Perl_localeconv() for direct XS calls of this
functionality.

  locale.c: localeconv() unconditional NUMERIC toggle

It is possible to lockout changing the LC_NUMERIC locale.  This is done
in some printf cases where a recursive call could get the radix
character wrong.  But localeconv(), which could be called during this
recursion on some platforms, toggles the locale briefly, without
affecting the surrounding calls; so it can do the toggle
unconditionally.

The previous commit merely moved the functionality of localeconv() from
POSIX.xs to locale.c.  This commit expands upon that.
