locale.py now uses an updated locale alias table (built using

Tools/i18n/makelocalealias.py, a tool to parse the X11 locale
alias file); the encoding lookup was enhanced to use Python's
encoding alias table

As sige-effect, this fixes SF bug [ 1080864 ] locale.py doesn't recognize
valid locale setting.
