l10n: LC_ALL is ignored #8922

Description

@cakebaker

When setting the locale with LC_ALL, we ignore the specified locale and always use the English locale:

$ LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 cargo run -q sleep --help
Pause for NUMBER seconds.

Usage: sleep NUMBER[SUFFIX]...
       sleep OPTION
// snipped the rest of the output

It works fine with LANG:

$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 cargo run -q sleep --help
Faire une pause de NOMBRE secondes.

Utilisation: sleep NOMBRE[SUFFIXE]...
       sleep OPTION
// snipped the rest of the output

GNU supports both environment variables:

$ LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 sleep --help
Utilisation : sleep NOMBRE[SUFFIXE]...
         ou : sleep OPTION
// snipped the rest of the output
$ LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 sleep --help
Utilisation : sleep NOMBRE[SUFFIXE]...
         ou : sleep OPTION
// snipped the rest of the output
