installer: Fix locale installation.
For some mysterious reason, calling 'setlocale' as first instruction of installer-builder does not install unicode support correctly. So set LANG env variable and start the installer until this is understood. * gnu/installer.scm (installer-program): Wrap installer-builder to have the opportunity to set LANG environment variable before starting the installer.
