[issue1443504] locale.getpreferredencoding() dies when setlocale fails

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

Sorry, I was actually off by a method last night.

It turns out the problem lies in _localemodule.c.

Let me start with the basic question: is our setlocale() supposed to
mirror POSIX' operations/semantics?
