Since hrev51075, locale -m changed meaning to the one expected by POSIX
(it now lists character maps, instead of giving the current language).
Since the short options may change again (locale -c is still not doing
what POSIX requires), use long options instead. This is more readable
and POSIX doesn't specify anything there so we can name them however we
want.
Fixes date parsing in Python which relies on these variables to detect
the current locale.
* This also updates /etc/profile to detect whether our
parent process is a shell, and changes the banner
message accordingly.
* Also, pipe errors to /dev/null, in case grep is not
installed; this allows us to not require grep as a
dependency, and let the banner message do the right
thing.
This allows packages to place files in data/profile.d to manipulate
the shell environment. They could already use settings/etc/profile.d,
but since there's no point in editing those files in most cases, placing
them there nonetheless doesn't make much sense.
ls --color emits the color code irrespective of whether it is being
attached to terminal or not. Which might result in color codes being
added to file upon redirection.
auto option with ls --color emits the color codes only the output is
attached to terminal, otherwise the colors are turned off.
Fixes#8993.

* add support for printing the time-related locale (which may contain
a '@strings=messages' suffix if required by locale configuration
* adjust cmdline params of /bin/locale to be a bit clearer (but keep
support for -c for compatibility)
* adjust /etc/profile to invoke /bin/locale accordingly
The various LC_ environment variables (as well as LANG) are set in
/etc/profile, based on the output of this new simple bin command locale.
LANG and LC_CTYPE are set based on the first preferred language, whereas the
formatting variables are all set based on the formatting conventions language.
The list of LC_ variables are from the locale command on Linux.
Based on my testing, at least the date command obeys these variables.

SetupEnvironment to /etc/profile and use the "id" command. No need to set
SHELL, since the shell sets it anyway. Fixes#5966.

shells started by remote login daemons (sshd, telnetd) also get the
environmental variables defined there. Closes#5789 and #2468.
