Changes to locale handling: `/etc/profile.d/locale.sh` is now a static file that sources the correct config files in order to set your locale, rather than being generated at boot. The benefit of this is one less write to `/etc`, and it allows changes to the locale to take effect without rebooting (just relogin). We add support for `/etc/locale.conf`. The settings in this file takes precedence over `/etc/rc.conf`, and those who use shells that cannot source `/etc/rc.conf` are required to move to this new format. `/etc/locale.conf` contains a new-line separated list of variable assignments. The variables we support are `LANG` as well as the `LC_*` variables (with the exception of `LC_ALL`). The format is shared with [systemd][1].
