[PATCH v3 6/9] gettext: add is_utf8_locale()

From
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>
Date

This function returns true if git is running under an UTF-8 locale. pcre in the next patch will need this.

is_encoding_utf8() is used instead of strcmp() to catch both "utf-8" and "utf8" suffixes.

When built with no gettext support, we peek in several env variables to detect UTF-8. pcre library might support utf-8 even if libc or git is built without locale support.. The peeking code is a copy from compat/regex/regcomp.c.
