test-quotearg: work around gettext limitation

On mingw, I'm seeing this test failure:

  FAIL: test-quotearg.sh

The reason is that when LC_ALL is set to French_France.1252, gettext()
looks up the message catalog in $localedir/French/LC_MESSAGES/ but it is
actually in $localedir/fr/LC_MESSAGES. In other words, the localename.c
copy in libintl ought to convert "French_France.1252" to "fr_FR.CP1252".
But until this is fixed, we have to work around it in gnulib:

        quotearg test: Avoid test failure on mingw.
        * tests/test-quotearg.sh: Convert the locale identifier from native
        Windows syntax to Unix syntax.
