Corinna Vinschen b5b67a65f8 Cygwin: locales: implement own method to check locale validity
The Windows function ResolveLocaleName is next to useless to
convert a partial locale identifier into a full, supported
locale identifier.  It converts anything which vaguely resembles
a locale into some other locale it supports.

Bad examples are:
  "en-XY" gets converted to "en-US", and worse,
  "ff-BF" gets converted to "ff-Latn-SN", even though "ff-Adlm-BF"
  exists!

To check if a locale is supported, we have to enumerate all valid
Windows locales, and return the match, even if the locale in Windows
requires a script.  Implement resolve_locale_name() as replacement
function for ResolveLocaleName.

Fixes: e95a7a7955 ("Cygwin: convert Windows locale handling from LCID to ISO5646 strings")
