[issue31900] localeconv() should decode numeric fields from LC_NUMERIC encoding, not from LC_CTYPE encoding

[STINNER Victor]

Marc-Andre Lemburg: "If you first set LC_ALL and then one of the other categories such as LC_NUMERIC, locale C functions will still use the LC_ALL setting for everything. LC_NUMERIC does not override the LC_ALL setting."

Petr Viktorin reproducer scripts uses Python locale.setlocale(), not environment variables:

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C.UTF-8')
