Default to C.UTF-8 locale, allow fallback to C

Mostly everything around us is UTF-8 these days, we need to get on with
the times. Especially now that glibc >= 2.35 finally supports it too.
Default to C.UTF-8 but allow disabling it via cmake option to fallback
to the traditional C locale instead.

Fixes: #2587
(cherry picked from commit 3be76d7)

+By default, Rpm uses C.UTF-8 locale as it's default locale. If your
+environment does not support this, you can make rpm use the traditional
+C locale with -DENABLE_CUTF8=OFF.

 If you are going to hack the sources (or compile from source repository)
 you will need most of the GNU development tools including:
 autoconf, automake, gettext, libtool, makeinfo, perl, GNU m4, GNU tar
