Merge #18817: doc: Document differences in bitcoind and bitcoin-qt locale handling
ca185cf5a1 doc: Document differences in bitcoind and bitcoin-qt locale handling (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Document differences in `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` locale handling.

  Since this seems to be the root cause to the locale dependency issues we've seen over the years I thought it was worth documenting :)

  Note that 1.) `QLocale` (used by Qt), 2.) C locale (used by locale-sensitive C standard library functions/POSIX functions and some parts of the C++ standard library such as `std::to_string`) and 3.) C++ locale (used by the C++ input/output library) are three separate things. This comment is about the perhaps surprising interference with the C locale (2) that takes place as part of the Qt initialization.

export LC_ALL=C
# Be aware that bitcoind and bitcoin-qt differ in terms of localization: Qt
# opts in to POSIX localization by running setlocale(LC_ALL, "") on startup,
# whereas no such call is made in bitcoind.
#
# Qt runs setlocale(LC_ALL, "") on initialization. This installs the locale
# specified by the user's LC_ALL (or LC_*) environment variable as the new
# C locale.
#
# In contrast, bitcoind does not opt in to localization -- no call to
# setlocale(LC_ALL, "") is made and the environment variables LC_* are
# thus ignored.
#
# This results in situations where bitcoind is guaranteed to be running
# with the classic locale ("C") whereas the locale of bitcoin-qt will vary
# depending on the user's environment variables.
#
# An example: Assuming the environment variable LC_ALL=de_DE then the
# call std::to_string(1.23) will return "1.230000" in bitcoind but
# "1,230000" in bitcoin-qt.
#
# From the Qt documentation:
# "On Unix/Linux Qt is configured to use the system locale settings by default.
# This can cause a conflict when using POSIX functions, for instance, when
# converting between data types such as floats and strings, since the notation
# may differ between locales. To get around this problem, call the POSIX function
# setlocale(LC_NUMERIC,"C") right after initializing QApplication, QGuiApplication
# or QCoreApplication to reset the locale that is used for number formatting to
# "C"-locale."
#
# See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcoreapplication.html#locale-settings and
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/34878283 for more details.
