gnu: glibc-utf8-locales: Hide the package.
This package has a long history of confusing users, due to containing only a
small, arbitrary subset of UTF-8 locales.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc-utf8-locales): Define as a hidden package.
* doc/guix.texi (Application Setup): Do not mention glibc-utf8-locales.
Instead, provide an example for defining a custom locales package.
