2016-05-28use std::locale::global instead of setlocaleDavid Kalnischkies
We use a wild mixture of C and C++ ways of generating output, so having a consistent world-view in both styles sounds like a good idea and should help in preventing regressions.

All mains pretty much do the same thing, so lets try a little harder to move the common parts into -private to have the real differences more visible. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10disable locking even for root in --simulateDavid Kalnischkies
Six years ago in 55a5a46c235a30bf024fb2301066553953701cc5 apt-get learned to disable locking if run as normal user and show a message. Helmut Grohne rightly suggests on IRC now that there isn't much point in getting the locks for root either as the output isn't in any way more authoritive than without locking given that after this call the lock is freed and any action can sneak in before we make the next call. So we exchange no benefit for the disavantage of blocking real calls. This can be especially confusing with the aliases --no-act and --just-print. We do not print the message we print for users through as the non-root users can be confronted with a lot more difference via unreadable files.

Beside being a bit cleaner it hopefully also resolves oddball problems I have with high levels of parallel jobs. Git-Dch: Ignore Reported-By: iwyu (include-what-you-use)
