[issue1176504] locale._build_localename treatment for utf8

[Gustavo De Nardin (spuk)]

We hit this problem with system-config-printer in Mandriva Linux
(<https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=48158>). Fixed it with this
patch
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/python/current/SOURCES/python-2.5.2-fix_UTF-8_name.patch?view=log

The "UTF8" name was introduced here
<http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=38027> (4 years and 2
months ago), to account for libc expectations, which seem to have
changed again currently.

This also seems related or the same as
<http://bugs.python.org/issue1699853>.
