    locales: Change defaults for territory-only locales
    
    From research, it appears that the default for territory-only locales
    (e.g. en_US, de_DE) is to use ISO-8859-X (where X is not 15).  The
    @euro modifier is the alias for ISO-8859-15.
    
    Since there is no apparent standard, I am going to switch the defaults
    from aliasing to UTF-8 to ISO-8859 where available.  For the non-latin
    character sets, I left these at UTF-8 rather than try to decide on a
    different default.
    
    Incidentally, this enables a number of gcc libstdc++ tests to pass as
    well.
