libpod/container_internal: Split locale at the first dot, etc.

We're going to feed this into Go's BCP 47 language parser.  Language
tags have the form [1]:

  language
  ["-" script]
  ["-" region]
  *("-" variant)
  *("-" extension)
  ["-" privateuse]

and locales have the form [2]:

  [language[_territory][.codeset][@modifier]]

The modifier is useful for collation, but Go's language-based API
[3] does not provide a way for us to supply it.  This code converts
our locale to a BCP 47 language by stripping the dot and later and
replacing the first underscore, if any, with a hyphen.  This will
avoid errors like [4]:

  WARN[0000] failed to parse language "en_US.UTF-8": language: tag is not well-formed

when feeding language.Parse(...).
