new module 'locale'

[Bruno Haible]

Hi,

A compilation failure was reported in GNU gettext, due to the fact that mingw's
<locale.h> does not define LC_MESSAGES.

The fix implies a new module that provides a POSIX compliant <locale.h>.

        * modules/locale: New file.
        * lib/locale_.h: New file.
