hints/openbsd: All categories but LC_CTYPE are C only
OpenBSD has a deliberately crippled locale system. The documented
reason is trading this capability for extra security. As a result, all
locale categories except LC_CTYPE are kept in the C locale, and libc
ignores all attempts to change them.
Perl can be configured to ignore any attempts to change any particular
category. Doing this results in the more generalized code paths not
getting compiled, so what remains is smaller and runs faster. This
commit does that for this platform.

Log Message:
-----------
OpenBSD properly handles mismatched LC_CTYPE
Perl has code that is conditionally compiled for platforms that have
trouble when LC_CTYPE doesn't match LC_TIME, for example, leading to
mojibake.
Some platforms handles this properly without perl having to deal with
it, and on those, the code is not compiled.
OpenBSD is such a platform, though it's because LC_TIME and all the
other categories only return ASCII, which is compatible with the two
possible LC_CTYPE locales, "C" and "C.UTF-8".
Might as well not compile the more general handling.
