curses: do not initialize LC_ALL to user settings (issue6358)
701341f57ceb moved the setlocale() call to right before curses was used. This didn’t fully solve the problem it was supposed to solve (locale-dependent functions, like date formatting/parsing and str methods on Python 2), but only postponed it. Initializing LC_CTYPE seems to be sufficient for curses to work correctly. Therefore LC_CTYPE is set while curses is used and reset afterwards. Some locale-dependent str methods might behave differently on Python 2 while curses is used, but that shouldn’d be a problem.
