Subject: [PATCH] feat(libSceSystemService): read the host locales of a POSIX
 system

PosixHostLocales takes an injectable environment reader and returns the locales
in order of preference: LC_ALL, then LC_MESSAGES, then LANG, the first one that
is set and not empty, as the C library chooses the locale of the messages
category. When that locale is a real one (not C, POSIX or unset) the entries of
LANGUAGE, the GNU preference list, come before it, as gettext ignores LANGUAGE
under the C locale.
