Enable --localedir to set message catalog directory (Bug 14259)
In 1999 the project split "localedir" into "localedir" (path to compiled locale archives) and "msgcatdir" (path to message catalogs). This predates the 2002 change in the GNU Coding Standard to document the use of "localedir" for the path to the message catalogs. It appears that newlib, gcc, and several other projects also used "msgcatdir" at one point or another in the past, and so it is in line with historical precedent that glibc would also use "msgcatdir." However, given that the GNU Coding Standard uses "localedir", we will switch to that for consistency as a GNU project. Previous uses of --localdir didn't work anyway (see bug 14259). I am committing this patch in the understanding that nobody would object to fixing #14259 as part of aligning our variable usage to the GNU Coding Standard. Given that previous "localedir" uses were converted to "complocaledir" by [1], we can now convert "msgcatdir" to "localedir" and complete the transition. With an addition to config.make.in we also fix bug 14259 and allow users to specify the locale dependent data directory with "--localedir" at configure time. There is still no way to control at configure time the location of the *compiled* locale directory. Tested on x86_64 with no regressions. Tested using "--localedir" to specify alternate locale dependent data directory and verified with "make install DESTDIR=/tmp/glibc". [1] 90fe682d3067163aa773feecf497ef599429457a
