[issue20087] Mismatch between glibc and X11 locale.alias

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Not all platforms use glibc 2.24 as libc.

Ideally most of entries should even not exist. We should ask libc for the default encoding if it is not included in the locale name. The aliases table should be used only for mapping commonly used but unsupported by libc locales to supported by libc locales.
