Fix t/loc_tools.pl
Commit 128e4113466e835078eb016709e5d23b86be3120 introduced a bug which causes a failure only on netbsd. It failed to make a copy in a function of the array whose reference is passed into it, and then modified the elements, thus changing the original. I think what this does on other platforms is to cause locales to be skipped from being tested (which is wrong but doesn't show up as a test failure), but on netbsd, it appears to expose a bug in their setlocale implementation, in which when setlocale is called with an invalid category, it succeeds instead of fails. Another bug in that commit was fixed by 2cc6a9db5a91276f3ff662b3e5befa6799fde3ed. But that fix introduced yet another bug, by extending category numbers to be negative (when a given category doesn't actually exist on a platform) but failing to allow for a minus sign in the regex pattern that should match any such number. This problem showed up on vms and os390. This commit fixes both problems.
