Previously <locale> used std::unique_ptr<remove_ptr<locale_t>, locale-mgmt-function>
as a scope guard for (A) creating new locales, and (B) setting the thread specific locale
in RAII safe manner.
However using unique_ptr has some problems, first it requires that locale_t is a pointer
type, which may not be the case (Windows will need a non-pointer locale_t type that emulates _locale_t).
The second problem is that users of the guards had to supply the locale management function to the custom
deleter at every call site. However these locale management functions don't exist natively Windows, making
a good Windows implementation of locale more difficult.
This patch creates distinct and simply RAII guards that replace unique_ptr. These guards handle calling
the correct locale management function so that callers don't have too. This simplification will
aid in upcoming Windows fixes.

Instead of checking _LIBCPP_LOCALE_L_EXTENSIONS all over, instead check it
once, and define the various *_l symbols once. The private redirector symbol
names are all prefixed with _libcpp_* so that they won't conflict with user
symbols, and so they won't conflict with future C library symbols. In
particular, glibc likes providing private symbols such as __locale_t, so we
should follow a different naming pattern (like _libcpp_*) to avoid problems
on that front.
Tested on Linux with glibc. Hoping for the best on OSX and the various BSDs.
