gnu: glibc-utf8-locales: Hide the package.
This package has a long history of confusing users, due to containing only a small, arbitrary subset of UTF-8 locales. * gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc-utf8-locales): Define as a hidden package. * doc/guix.texi (Application Setup): Do not mention glibc-utf8-locales. Instead, provide an example for defining a custom locales package.

Note that the @code{glibc-locales} package contains data for all the
|
||||
locales supported by the GNU@tie{}libc and weighs in at around
|
||||
917@tie{}MiB@. Alternatively, the @code{glibc-utf8-locales} is smaller but
|
||||
limited to a few UTF-8 locales.

930@tie{}MiB@footnote{The size of the @code{glibc-locales} package is
|
||||
reduced down to about 213@tie{}MiB with store deduplication and further
|
||||
down to about 67@tie{}MiB when using a zstd-compressed Btrfs file
|
||||
system.}. If you only need a few locales, you can define your custom
|
||||
locales package via the @code{make-glibc-utf8-locales} procedure from
|
||||
the @code{(gnu packages base)} module. The following example defines a
|
||||
package containing the various Canadian UTF-8 locales known to the
|
||||
GNU@tie{}libc, that weighs around 14@tie{}MiB:
