    bash: Set LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 for tests and update known failures
    
    LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 removes a spurious test failure at run-builtins line 365.
    And for some tests failing due to missing locale it turns unreadable
    characters into some incorrect but readable characters.
    
    Also update known failures: the known ulimit -c failure has a different
    line number; the removal of ja_JP.SJIS and the newly introduced
    zh_TW.BIG5 tests also introduce several new failures.
