    build: Determine the appropriate string for setlocale()
    
    On Windows, in particular the CRTs on and after Visual Studio 2012, it
    is not enough just to do setlocale (LC_ALL, "") to set the default
    system locale, which results in the tools that use the translated
    messages to show unreadable messages when running the commmand line
    tools.
    
    This adds an entry in glibconfig.h.in which denotes the appropriate
    string to use for setlocale() to set the default system locale by
    setting it to ".ACP" if we are building via Visual Studio and "" for
    other compilers (as we are doing now).
    
    The tools in gio/ will be updated in the next commit to make use of this
    entry so that the translated messages can be shown correctly.
