[PR #11824/39f4cda6 backport][stable-12] locale_gen: support locales not yet listed in /etc/locale.gen (#11883)

locale_gen: support locales not yet listed in /etc/locale.gen (#11824)

* locale_gen: support locales not yet listed in /etc/locale.gen

On systems like Gentoo where /etc/locale.gen starts with only a handful
of commented examples, set_locale_glibc() now appends missing locale
entries sourced from /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED instead of silently
doing nothing. Also extracts the shared locale-entry regex into a
module-level constant RE_LOCALE_ENTRY.



* locale_gen: add changelog fragment for issue 2399
