[issue5815] locale.getdefaultlocale() missing corner case

Further investigation:

The guy who had this issue may be from Valencia, Spain. According to the
manpage for setlocale(3) in my system, the form is usually
language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]. So, in this case, it would
make sense for the language to be "ca" (Catalan) and territory "ES" (Spain).

My patch may be fine after all. Because, if at that point the @modifier
is still present (I have seen code that removes it before that point),
you'd still want to remove it and keep only the "codeset", which is the
interesting part.
