Ugh. What if the user provides both options --locales=3Den_US,es_MX and
--use-c-locale? Should we attempt to add the "C" locale to the user
supplied locale list, or should this only be something that is in effect
when the user doesn't use --locales?

The second option is weird, but it makes the most sense. The user could
easily just write --locales=3Den_US,es_MX,C if that is what they wanted.
In either case it looks like I might need to make a function in
test/rw_locale.h that provides some documentation and sets a flag that
is used by rw_locales().
