#13289: Generating default locale from envronment variables (LC_ALL, LANG) is in
wrong order

     Type:  Bugs                        |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined            |  Component:  locale
  Version:  Boost 1.62.0                |   Severity:  Problem
 Keywords:                              |
----------------------------------------+---------------------------
 When generating locale with empty string, we infer the locale from the
 environment variables. The current order is

 1. LC_CTYPE
 2. LC_ALL
 3. LANG

 As per POSIX, see chapter 8.2, and linux man-pages, see man locale.7
 (can't post links, the system forbids) the order should be

 1. LC_ALL
 2. LC_CTYPE
 3. LANG

 The fix is trivial in the function
 {{{boost::locale::util::get_system_locale()}}}
