[patch] gnupg-2.0.9 uses wrong charset

[Petr Uzel]

Hi all,

I believe there is a bug in gnupg-2.0.9 that causes incorrect 
handling/conversions of non-latin characters on UTF terminals. 

PROBLEM:
nl_langinfo(CODESET) at utf8conv.c:208 should return console charset (in my 
case UTF-8), but instead returns ANSI_X3.4-1968 (~US-ASCII). So gpg then uses 
incorrect character set for iconv conversions resulting in 'weird' characters 
in UIDs.

FIX:
This can be fixed by calling setlocale(LC_ALL, "") prior to nl_langinfo(). 
Since setlocale() is called from i18n_init() and nl_langinfo() from 
init_common_subsystems(), attached patch should IMHO fix the problem.
