    Make Foreign.C.String.*CString use the locale encoding
    
    This change follows the FFI specification in Haskell 98, which
    has never actually been implemented before.
    
    The functions exported from Foreign.C.String are partially-applied
    versions of those from GHC.Foreign, which allows the user to supply
    their own TextEncoding.
    
    We also introduce foreignEncoding as the name of the text encoding
    that follows the FFI appendix in that it transliterates encoding
    errors.
