system: Define 'GUIX_LOCPATH' to work around 'glibc' package defect.
Our 'glibc' package currently ignores /run/current-system/locale, although the intent is to look for locales in that directory. * gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc/linux): Add comment about /run/current-system/locale being ignored. * gnu/system.scm (operating-system-environment-variables): Add 'GUIX_LOCPATH'. * gnu/tests/base.scm (run-basic-test): Add "locale" test.
