gnu: glibc: Look for locale data in versioned sub-directories. 

Suggested by Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.

* gnu/packages/patches/glibc-versioned-locpath.patch: New file.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add it.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc)[source]: Use it.
  [arguments]: Add explicit version sub-directory to
  libc_cv_localedir.
  [native-search-paths]: Use 'GUIX_LOCPATH' instead of 'LOCPATH'.
  (glibc-locales, glibc-utf8-locales): Write to a VERSION
  sub-directory.

The @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} variable plays a role similar to @code{LOCPATH}
(@pxref{Locale Names, @code{LOCPATH},, libc, The GNU C Library Reference
Manual}). There are two important differences though:
@enumerate
@item
@code{GUIX_LOCPATH} is honored only by Guix's libc, and not by the libc
provided by foreign distros. Thus, using @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} allows you
to make sure the the foreign distro's programs will not end up loading
incompatible locale data.
@item
libc suffixes each entry of @code{GUIX_LOCPATH} with @code{/X.Y}, where
@code{X.Y} is the libc version---e.g., @code{2.22}. This means that,
should your Guix profile contain a mixture of programs linked against
different libc version, each libc version will only try to load locale
data in the right format.
@end enumerate
This is important because the locale data format used by different libc
versions may be incompatible.

The format of locale data can be incompatible between libc versions, and
loading incompatible data can lead to 'setlocale' returning EINVAL at best
or triggering an assertion failure at worst. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-09/msg00717.html
for background information.
To address that, this patch changes libc to honor a new 'GUIX_LOCPATH'
variable, and to look for locale data in version-specific sub-directories of
that variable. So, if GUIX_LOCPATH=/foo:/bar, locale data is searched for in
/foo/X.Y and /bar/X.Y, where X.Y is the libc version number.
That way, a single 'GUIX_LOCPATH' setting can work even if different libc
versions coexist on the system.
