sh: Unset some more locale vars in two tests that may cause them to break.


# 207678 05-May-2010 jilles

sh: Apply locale vars on builtins, recognize LC_MESSAGES as a locale var.

This allows doing things like LC_ALL=C some_builtin to run a builtin under a
different locale, just like is possible with external programs. The
immediate reason is that this allows making printf(1) a builtin without
breaking things like LC_NUMERIC=C printf '%f\n' 1.2

This change also affects special builtins, as even though the assignment is
persistent, the export is only to the builtin (unless the variable was
already exported).

Note: for this to work for builtins that also exist as external programs
such as /bin/test, the setlocale() call must be under #ifndef SHELL. The
shell will do the setlocale() calls which may not agree with the environment
variables.
