[issue26928] _bootlocale imports locale at startup on Android

[Xavier de Gaye]

Xavier de Gaye added the comment:

Sorry for the confusion, the file system encoding is not the locale encoding.

In issue #9548, Antoine proposed a patch that avoids the import of the re, collections and functools modules by the _io module on startup, by refactoring and moving code from locale to _bootlocale. The attached refactor_locale.patch does that for python 3.6. The reasons for why Antoine patch has not been pushed still apply to this patch :(

The patch does fix the problem for Android though.
