Is upower --dump actually wrong? The way how upowerd reads attribute
names should not depend on the locale that upowerd runs under; if it
does, we need to fix that properly.

upowerd -v's own debug output could be wrong, though.

I'd prefer setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), so that it runs under the locale
that the environment actually defines. So if someone uses a non-UTF8
locale it'll still be correct, and we don't need to assume that any
particular naming exists.
