init: Change fallback locale to C.UTF-8
Much of our code assumes UTF-8 support, and this is a more realistic guess for modern systems anyway than the default character set (which would be ASCII only). So change the assumed fallback locale (if no locale is defined by the user or OS) to `C.UTF-8`. Github-Pull: #17085 Rebased-From: facb9a1315f97489a20eb0e969fdb14b5128ed2f
