    utils: Force bitbake to en_US.UTF-8 locale settings
    
    Under python 3, if we spawn a python process, we need to have a UTF-8
    locale, else python's file access methods will use ascii. You can't
    change that mode once the interpreter is started so we have to ensure
    a locale is set. Ideally we'd use C.UTF-8 but not all distros support
    that and we need to set something. Was tempted to choose en_GB so colour
    gets spelt correctly :).
