yum-minimal: set locale.conf and tz in chroot

Browse Source 
We should be doing more to ensure initial configuration during
configuration.  Taken from the steps done by [1], here we set
locale.conf and a general timezone.

The only reliable UTF8 locale is en_US.UTF-8; we don't want to use C
locale as it causes havoc with things like python3 and unicode.  We
set locale.conf to this.

For Fedora 24 ensure we install the en_* locales too (this is really a
bug separate to this -- when you log in, by default ssh tries to copy
over your locale env variables, so logging into a F24 system would
result in using invalid locales for the most common en_* cases).

While we are here, setup a timezone link.  It turns out infra puppet
overwrites this later, but at least we have a sane default.
