The various _l locale extension functions originate from very
different places. Some come from POSIX, some are BSD extensions,
and some are shared BSD and GLIBC extensions. This patch tries to
group the local extension reimplementations by source. This should
make it easier to make libcxx work with POSIX compliant C libraries
that lack these extensions.
The fallback locale functions are also useful on their own for other
lightweight platforms. Putting these fallback implementations in
support/xlocale should enable code sharing.
I have no access to a newlib system or an android system to build
and test with. I _do_ have access to a system without any of the _l
locale extensions though, and I was able to ensure that the new
__posix_l_fallback.h and __strtonum_fallback.h didn't have any massive
problems.

This is one part of many of a locale refactor. See
http://reviews.llvm.org/D17146 for an idea of where this is going.
For the locale refactor, the locale management functions (newlocale,
freelocale, uselocale) are needed in a separate header from the various _l
functions. This is because some platforms implement the _l functions in terms
of a locale switcher RAII helper, and the locale switcher RAII helper needs
the locale management functions. This patch helps pave the way by getting all
the functions in the right files, so that later diffs aren't completely
horrible.
The "do-nothing" / "nop" locale functions are also useful on their own for
other lightweight platforms. Putting these nop implementations in
support/xlocale should enable code sharing.
Unfortunately, I have no access to a newlib system to build and test with, so
this change has been made blind.
