Set system language.

Sets the system language to the given `language`, which must be a valid locale
identifier, like "en_US.UTF-8".

Removes `/etc/locale.conf` and then uses `systemd-firstboot` from the buildhost,
with the `--locale` flag, which will write a new `/etc/locale.conf` in the
target system with `LANG={language}`.
