Corinna Vinschen c42b98bdc6 Cygwin: introduce /proc/codesets and /proc/locales
So far locale(1) had to have knowledge how to construct, thus
duplicating the effort how Cygwin handles locale strings.

Move locale list and codeset list generation into Cygwin by
providing /proc/codesets and /proc/locales files.  /proc/locales
does not list aliases, those are still handled in locale(1).

locale(1) opens the files and ueses that info for printing,
like any other application can do now.

What's new:
-----------
- Drop support for Windows 7, Windows 8, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.
- The console device gets accessible from other terminals such as other
consoles and ptys. Thanks to this new feature, GNU screen and tmux
now work in the console.
- newgrp(1) tool.
- cygcheck has new options searching for available packages in the
cygwin distro, as well as getting extended info on available and
installed packages.
- fnmatch(3) and glob(3) now support named character classes and
equivalence class expressions in the search pattern, i.e., [:alnum:],
[=a=], etc.
- Introduce /proc/codesets and /proc/locales with information on
supported codesets and locales for all interested parties. Locale(1)
opens these files and uses the info for printing locale info like any
other process could do.
