[issue46659] Deprecate locale.getdefaultlocale() function

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg <mal at egenix.com> added the comment:

> For these reasons, I propose to deprecate locale.getdefaultlocale(): setlocale(), getpreferredencoding() and getlocale() should be used instead.

Please see the discussion on https://bugs.python.org/issue43552: locale.getpreferredencoding() needs to be deprecated as well. Instead we should have a single locale.getencoding() as outlined there... perhaps in a separate ticket ?! Thanks.
