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

[Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven]

OK, then I'll apply it.

But I am curious about your thoughts about the _parse_localename()
method being called from setlocale() raising a ValueError, whereas a
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") should not fail at all, which it currently does
if the locale in the environment is not valid.
