chg: force-set LC_CTYPE on server start to actual value from the environment

Python 3.7+ will "coerce" the LC_CTYPE variable in many instances, and this can
cause issues with chg being able to start up. D7550 attempted to fix this, but a
combination of a misreading of the way that python3.7 does the coercion and an
untested state (LC_CTYPE being set to an invalid value) meant that this was
still not quite working.

This change will cause differences between chg and hg: hg will have the LC_CTYPE
environment variable coerced, while chg will not. This is unlikely to cause any
detectable behavior differences in what Mercurial itself outputs, but it does
have two known effects:

-   When using hg, the coerced LC_CTYPE will be passed to subprocesses, even
    non-python ones. Using chg will remove the coercion, and this will not
    happen. This is arguably more correct behavior on chg's part.
-   On macOS, if you set your region to Brazil but your language to English,
    this isn't representable in locale strings, so macOS sets LC_CTYPE=UTF-8. If
    this value is passed along when ssh'ing to a non-macOS machine, some
    functions (such as locale.setlocale()) may raise an exception due to an
    unsupported locale setting. This is most easily encountered when doing an
    interactive commit/split/etc. when using ui.interface=curses.

Corrupt an hg repo with two pulls.
create one repo with a long history

  $ hg init source1
  $ cd source1
  $ touch foo
  $ hg add foo
  $ for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
  >     echo $i >> foo
  >     hg ci -m $i
  > done
  $ cd ..

create one repo with a shorter history

  $ hg clone -r 0 source1 source2

  added 1 changesets with 1 changes to 1 files
  new changesets 495a0ec48aaf
  updating to branch default
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ cd source2
  $ echo a >> foo
  $ hg ci -m a
  $ cd ..

create a third repo to pull both other repos into it

  $ hg init corrupted
  $ cd corrupted

use a hook to make the second pull start while the first one is still running

  $ echo '[hooks]' >> .hg/hgrc
  $ echo 'prechangegroup = sleep 5' >> .hg/hgrc

start a pull...

  $ hg pull ../source1 > pull.out 2>&1 &

... and start another pull before the first one has finished

  $ sleep 1
  $ hg pull ../source2 2>/dev/null
