Subject: [PATCH] exec: Fix setting locale for util calls

This actually fixes two issue. The _utils_exec_and_report_progress
function didn't set the LC_ALL=C environment variable to make sure
we get output in English. And also we shouldn't use setenv in the
GSpawnChildSetupFunc, it's actually example of what not to do in
g_spawn_async documentation. This fix uses g_environ_setenv and
passes the new environment to the g_spawn call.
