[bug#44075] [PATCH] gnu: Add make-glibc-locales-collection.

[Miguel Ángel Arruga Vivas]

Hi Efraim and Ludo!

This patch could be an starting point to even master, it allows to
extend easily glibc-utf8-locales to the desired ones.

I've used the following steps to test it[1]:
------------------------------>8----------------------------------
$ echo '(define-module (t) #:use-module (gnu packages base))
(define-public glibc-utf8-test
  (make-glibc-utf8-locales glibc #:locales (list "es_ES")
                           #:name "glibc-utf8-test"))
glibc-utf8-test' > tmp/t.scm
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -f tmp/t.scm
$ ./pre-inst-env guix package -L tmp --show=glibc-utf8-test
------------------------------8<----------------------------------

Something like glibc-utf8-<language>-locales could be easily implemented
on top of this, and I think it could be helpful for the end user too.
WDYT?

Happy hacking!
Miguel

[1] After checking that ./pre-inst-env guix build glibc-utf8-locales
didn't rebuild anything at all, of course.
