[Toybox] Test suite and UTF8.

[Robert Thompson]

I might be wrong, but I think this is a Debian (and derived) thing. I did a
search before commenting, and apparently there is no C.UTF-8 in upstream
glibc. I see several discussions about possibly adding it, some dating as
late as August 2015, but haven't found any sign that it was added to glibc.
One example is https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16621#c4

I know that there had been resistance in Fedora to a patch to add C.UTF-8,
and a preference to wait until upstream glibc got it.

I don't currently have access to my non-debian-derived test environments,
so don't take my word for it...
