sys-apps/locale-gen: add 3.10
There are 82 commits in total between 3.9 and 3.10. Here is a curated
list of the more interesting ones among them.
Kerin Millar (11/82):
Suppress bash warnings regarding setlocale(3) failures
mkconfig: Improve the diagnostics for missing locales
mkconfig: better detect missing/incomplete locales
Allow localename fields to forgo a (redundant) codeset
Introduce the LOCALEGEN_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED environment variable
Refrain from trying to execute chcon(1), if missing
Add diagnostics to communicate actions taken in lieu of SELinux
Support locale declarations consisting of only one field
Compare both device and inode in is_eq_file()
Check against /dev/{null,stdin} intelligently in fopen()
Simplify the behaviour of select_config_files()
In addition to those, the man pages have undergone substantial updates,
with a greater emphasis on brevity and clarity.

+ As of version 3.10, the locale.gen(5) config file grammar has been
+ simplified. For instance, "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" may instead be written as
+ "en_US UTF-8", or even "en_US". The grammar remains backward compatible
with
+ version 3.9, so there is no requirement to update the /etc/locale.gen
file.
