-----------
Return C values if localeconv() not available
localeconv() is a C89 function. But the existing code handled the case
if it isn't available anyway by returning an empty hash if
POSIX::localeconv() is called. Prior commits have made it actually
easier to instead return the hash populated with the values that the C
locale has, which is more desirable than the current state. And that is
what this commit does.
There are reasons that localeconv() might not be available. We recently
had a case where Configure didn't catch its existence. And it still is
broken on MingW, and until recently on older Windows releases that we
now no longer support. Workarounds were developed for those cases, but
there may be other platforms where it ends up broken without a
workaround, and this code handles them better and more simply than
before this commit.
