Remove the explicit installation of an English language pack and instead
just default LANG to C. This settls Perl's noisy warnings and also stops
any side effects of different language build hosts.
Note that this is set right at the start of the build process, so it
should be entirely possible to override if needs be.

This disables apt's default behaviour of installing packages in the
Recommends field of other packages. While this can be useful, it
causes a lot of unnecessary software to be installed and may cause
explicit dependencies to be missed in some circumstances.

This change causes the "base" element to install and generate English
locales, thereby mitigating a lot of build noise (at least for
English speaking users). Also included is a note in the element's
README.md about what users in other locales should do.
