sys-apps/locale-gen: integrate the mkconfig util into 9999

The locale-gen repo now carries the mkconfig utility. It writes a sample
/etc/locale.gen file to standard output as a columnated list, consisting
only of UTF-8 locales supported by the installed version of glibc, with
comments indicating the languages and territories in plain English.

Have the src_install() function of the live ebuild take advantage of it.

[sam: Note that this introduces a BDEPEND (but not an RDEPEND) on
 dev-perl/File-Slurper. If this is unacceptable to someone, please file
 a bug explaining why and we can discuss.]
