*/*: Use C.UTF-8 locale
Ports 02f27a83b44d fixed the ports tree to the C locale so it would work
correctly in environments where users use a locale that isn't compatible
with the C locale, e.g. xx_YY.UTF-8 where [A-Z] includes more than just
upper case letters. USE_LOCALE was introduced to let ports use another
locale if they needed it. The C.UTF-8 locale was created later on to be
mostly compatible with the C locale.
Switch the ports tree locale to C.UTF-8 and remove USE_LOCALE. The
world has moved to Unicode so all ports either require it or know how to
build correctly in a Unicode environment.

Mk/Uses/python.mk: Introduce PY_TOMLI
- Convert ports to use PY_TOMLI to simplify Makefile.
The minimal version is set to 2.0.1 because it is required by multiple ports
such as devel/py-poetry.
The upper bound of version is set to 3 because it is limited by devel/py-poetry.
