Setting the patch for the glibc locale archive, which addresses some problems

Browse Source 
found before:
- programs linked with this glibc, will be able to find its locale-archive
  at LOCALE_ARCHIVE_2_11
- for any problem we forgot to mention, we also add the LOCALE_ARCHIVE
  variable, checked after LOCALE_ARCHIVE_2_11. I don't know a strong reason to
  have it though.
- setuid programs will expect the locale-archive in
  /var/run/current-system/sw/lib/locale, usual path of the locale-archive in
  nixos, and a path that a sysadmin can set pointing to the locale-archive in
  case of non-nixos. setuid programs don't receive the LOCALE_ARCHIVE
  variables.
- non-nixos systems will have a check for the locale-archive in /usr/lib/locale
- the glibc programs 'locale' and 'localedef' may be able to find the proper
  locale-archive too.

We were also considering getting rid of the locale-archive, and using
locale files directly (like Ubuntu seems to do [1]), maybe using the LOCPATH
variable. But this would not solve the problem of localized setuid programs.

All this came after a 'meeting' with niksnut on irc about this.
