Force plugins to execute using LANGUAGE='C'.
IPA translates exception messages and Ansible uses controller's
language to execute plugins on target hosts, and since ansible-freeipa
uses Exceptions messages to detect some errors and/or states, using any
language that has a translation for the required messages may cause the
plugin to misbehave.
This patch modifies ansible_freeipa_module in plugin/module_utils to
force the use of "C" as the language by setting the environment variable
LANGUAGE.
Tests were added to verify the correct behavior:
tests/environment/test_locale.yml
The first test will fail, if ansible_freeipa_module is not patched, with
the message:
host_show failed: nonexistent: host nicht gefunden
This issue is not present if the language selected does not provide
a translation for the eror message.
This patch does not fix encoding issues that might occur in certain
releases (e.g.: CentOS 8.3).
