installer: Do not set the locale in run-command.

Installing the locale inside the container, once the cow-store is mounted,
causes the process to keep opened locale files that can later prevent the
cow-store umount.

* gnu/installer/utils.scm (run-command): Remove locale argument.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-system): Adapt it.
