This patch initializes the locale system when using a Fortran main
program. For non-Fortran main programs that link to libgfortran this
is not done, as such programs are expeced to handle locales
themselves. Following the approach used by python
(https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0538/ ), if the user environment
uses the default C locale, it tries a few fallback options (C.UTF-8,
C.utf8, UTF-8) to set the LC_CTYPE to a UTF-8 locale.

This enables localized error messages for OS errors (strerror() etc.).

Currently this is done unconditionally when set_options() is called,
which is done by the Fortran main().  This should perhaps be handled
through the options array, in order to enable users to disable it,
e.g. for non-Fortran main programs that still want to properly
initialize libgfortran?

Regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, Ok for trunk?

	* runtime/compile_options.c (set_options): Initialize locale.
