grep: fix multibyte regex handling under macOS

The commit 29de20504e (Makefile: fix default regex settings on
Darwin, 2013-05-11) fixed t0070-fundamental.sh under Darwin (macOS) by
adopting Git's regex library.  However, this library is compiled with
NO_MBSUPPORT, which causes git-grep to work incorrectly on multibyte
(e.g. UTF-8) files.  Current macOS versions pass t0070-fundamental.sh
with the native macOS regex library, which also supports multibyte
characters.

Adjust the Makefile to use the native regex library, and call
setlocale(3) to set CTYPE according to the user's preference.
The setlocale call is required on all platforms, but in platforms
supporting gettext(3), setlocale was called as a side-effect of
initializing gettext.  Therefore, move the CTYPE setlocale call from
gettext.c to common-main.c and the corresponding locale.h include
into git-compat-util.h.

Thanks to the global initialization of CTYPE setlocale, the test-tool
regex command now works correctly with supported multibyte regexes, and
is used to set the MB_REGEX test prerequisite by assessing a platform's
support for them.
