previously, LC_MESSAGES was treated specially as the only category
which could be set to a locale name without a definition file, in
order to facilitate gettext message translations when no libc locale
was available. LC_NUMERIC was completely un-settable, and LC_CTYPE
stored a flag intended to be used for a possible future byte-based C
locale, instead of storing a __locale_map pointer like the other
categories use.
this patch changes all categories to be represented by pointers to
__locale_map structures, and allows locale names without definition
files to be treated as valid locales with trivial definition when used
in any category. outwardly visible functional changes should be minor,
limited mainly to the strings read back from setlocale and the way
gettext handles translations in categories other than LC_MESSAGES.
various internal refactoring has also been performed, and improvements
in const correctness have been made.

when the non-stub duplocale code was added as part of the locale
framework in commit 0bc03091bb674ebb9fa6fe69e4aec1da3ac484f2, the old
code to memcpy the old locale object to the new one was left behind.
the conditional for the memcpy no longer makes sense, because the
conditions are now always-true when it's reached, and the memcpy is
wrong because it clobbers the new->messages_name pointer setup just
above.
since the messages_name and ctype_utf8 members have already been
copied, all that remains is the cat[] array. these pointers are
volatile, so using memcpy to copy them is formally wrong; use a for
loop instead.

this commit adds non-stub implementations of setlocale, duplocale,
newlocale, and uselocale, along with the data structures and minimal
code needed for representing the active locale on a per-thread basis
and optimizing the common case where thread-local locale settings are
not in use.
at this point, the data structures only contain what is necessary to
represent LC_CTYPE (a single flag) and LC_MESSAGES (a name for use in
finding message translation files). representation for the other
categories will be added later; the expectation is that a single
pointer will suffice for each.
for LC_CTYPE, the strings "C" and "POSIX" are treated as special; any
other string is accepted and treated as "C.UTF-8". for other
categories, any string is accepted after being truncated to a maximum
supported length (currently 15 bytes). for LC_MESSAGES, the name is
kept regardless of whether libc itself can use such a message
translation locale, since applications using catgets or gettext should
be able to use message locales libc is not aware of. for other
categories, names which are not successfully loaded as locales (which,
at present, means all names) are treated as aliases for "C". setlocale
never fails.
locale settings are not yet used anywhere, so this commit should have
no visible effects except for the contents of the string returned by
setlocale.

posix has resolved to add this usage; for now, we just avoid writing
anything to the new locale object since it's not used anyway.
