autotools: Use LANG=C.UTF-8 rather than LANG=C

Philip Withnall requested to merge pwithnall/gnome-builder:c-utf-8 into master

Various processes run as part of make all for typical projects will end up giving output full of replacement characters, or crashing, if run in an ASCII locale. Explicitly run them in a UTF-8 locale to avoid that.

This assumes (I haven’t verified) that the code in Builder which parses the make all output is UTF-8–safe.

See glib#1430.
