This patch allows us to use glibc's build system to build locales
in a package separate from glibc.
1. Use 'localedef' from $PATH since we are not rebuilding it.
2. Use '--no-archive' to avoid building the big locale archive, and
because the already-built 'localedef' would want to write it
to '/run/current-system/locale', which is not possible.
3. Pass $(inst_complocaledir)/$$locale to install files in the right
place, and because otherwise, 'localedef' fails with:
"cannot write output files to `(null)'".
