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.
