Ensure locale is always set for Ansible

Dmitriy Rabotyagov · Dmitriy Rabotyagov · commit 292da967ae14 · 2025-10-31T14:53:31.000Z
In some cases, environment from the operator localhost can be passed to the deploy host, uncluding used locales. With that, not always the selected locale will be present on the deploy host, and LC_ALL can be not defined either, for example on Debian 13. Adding default LC_ALL env var for bootstrap and runtime of openstack-ansible ensures that locale is set correcttly. Otherwise, Ansible may fail with "unsupported locale setting".
