feat(profiler/behave_shell): emit environmental.locale

Searches ANSI-stripped output for LANG / LC_ALL / LC_CTYPE envvar
substrings emitted by env / locale / printenv. Highest-priority key
wins (LC_ALL > LANG > LC_CTYPE); POSIX value normalised to BCP-47:
en_US.UTF-8 → en-US, pt_BR.UTF-8 → pt-BR, C/POSIX → und. Free-string
registry value emitted directly.

PII discipline: only the parsed locale value enters observations;
surrounding output is read once for matching and dropped.
