So we don't need an option. We just have to move our setlocale() call from Py_Initialize() into Py_Main()

Well, the implementation is super complex. It's not easy to move setlocale() call from Py_Initialize() into Py_Main(). I'm not sure that it's doable.

By Py_Main *calls* Py_Initialize (via the new APIs), so it can do whatever it likes before Py_Initialize is called. We'd be calling setlocale *earlier*, not later.
