Remove obsolete aliases that broke 'locale -a'
[BZ #18412] * intl/locale.alias: Remove obsolete aliases "bokmål" and "français" which caused 'locale -a' to output Latin-1 data in UTF-8 locales, breaking some applications that use 'locale -a' output. Change the encoding of this file from Latin-1 to ASCII to avoid other potential problems with people grepping this file.

# backward compatibility. Nobody should rely on the names defined here.
# Locales should always be specified by their full name.
+# Note: This file used to contain the following lines:
+# bokmaal nb_NO.ISO-8859-1
+# franc,ais fr_FR.ISO-8859-1
+# except that the "aa" was actually the byte '\0xE5' (the Latin-1
+# encoding for U+00E5 LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE) and the
+# "c," was actually the byte '\xE7' (the Latin-1 encoding for U+00E7
+# LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA). These lines were removed
+# because they caused 'locale -a' to output text encoded in Latin-1,
+# which broke applications in UTF-8 locales. See:
