localedata: LC_MESSAGES.{yes,no}expr: add +1/-0 to all regexes [BZ #15263]

A handful of regexes were allowing +1 for yesexpr and -0 for noexpr, and it's the i18n definition. Standardize all locales by allowing these language-independent values in them. Example change for en_US goes from ^[yY] to ^[+1yY], and from ^[nN] to ^[-0nN].
