 Log Message:
 PR bin/58609 - enable locale var internal manipulation
 
 sh now recognises the (standard) set of locale variables, and in addition
 to setting up the locale environment to match those in the environment at
 startup (which it has done for ages), now also causes alterations to those
 variables while the shell is running to take immediate effect inside sh,
 which can affect how the shell operates in some limited aspects - previously
 such updates would be passed to exec'd child processes (not subshells)
 if the variables are exported, and not affect the running shell at all.
 
 See the PR, and the updated sh(1) man page, for details.
 
 This is a feature enhancement, no pullups (not even to -11) are planned.
