locale: don't crash if locale-archive contains all zeros
In case of power failure followed by filesystem issues locale-archive
can end-up containing all zeros. In that case all calls to setlocale()
generate a SIGFPE. This renders a system with a default non-C locale
unbootable.

Avoid this by ignoring the locale instead of generating a SIGFPE.
