Mike Frysinger 4d258cdf9d enter_chroot: restore auto locale generation
First let's add a chroot upgrade hook that'll declare a small list of
locales to speed up glibc upgrades.

The other blocker was that `cros_sdk --enter` took an inordinate amount
of time to execute (`locale-gen -u` specifically) when the number of
existing locales is huge.  This seems to be a bug in the bash/glibc
stack which is resolved in newer versions, but we can workaround the
issue by forcing locale-gen to run in a C locale.  The tool itself does
not care about its locale and we silence its output.

BUG=chromium-os:20378
TEST=`cros_sdk --enter`; see no locales in /etc/locale.gen; run `./build_packages` and see upgrade hook work
TEST=generate all 400 locales; `cros_sdk --enter`; see that it was quick
