gtk: use setlocale() for LC_MESSAGES only

The QEMU code is not internationalized and assumes that it runs under
the C locale, but if we use the GTK+ UI we'll end up importing the
locale settings from the environment. This can break things, such as
the JSON generator and iotest 120 in locales that use a decimal comma.

We do however have translations for a few simple strings for the GTK+
menu items, so in order to run QEMU using the C locale, and yet have a
translated UI let's use setlocale() for LC_MESSAGES only.

*
* Since GTK+ calls setlocale() by default -importing the locale
* settings from the environment- we must prevent it from doing so
* using gtk_disable_setlocale().

* QEMU's GTK+ UI, however, _does_ have translations for some of
* the menu items. As a trade-off between a functionally correct
* QEMU and a fully internationalized UI we support importing
* LC_MESSAGES from the environment (see the setlocale() call
* earlier in this file). This allows us to display translated
* messages leaving everything else untouched.
