Our current default is to keep all locales installed in
/usr/share/locale/. However, in practice, those locales take up a
significant amount of space, and most users do not need
locales. Therefore, it makes more sense to default to purging locales,
in order to keep only a few useful ones rather than keeping them all.
It helps in providing a small filesystem size by default, and still
allows advanced users who really need locales to tune their
configuration.
As an example, a very basic system with just util-linux enabled (not
even Busybox) weights 11 MB, including 6.4 MB of locales. With this new
default, the generated system is only 4.2 MB.

Our current list of locales to keep by default is "C en_US de fr". It
doesn't make much sense to keep "de" and "fr" more than any other
language. So let's keep only the "C" and "en_US" locales by default,
and leave it to the user to specify other locales to keep if needed.

The options to purge locales and to generate locale data are currently
located in the toolchain menu. However, these options are not really
related to the toolchain per-se, they are more system-level
configuration options, much like the timezone selection option we
already have in the "System configuration" menu.
Therefore, it makes more sense to have the locale-related options in
the "System configuration" menu as well.
