fix text mode KeyError crash (#804483)
 

anaconda didn't know how to deal with LANG=C. So if we have LANG=C, just
treat it like we had no LANG set: reset to DEFAULT_LANG.

Just to be sure, use TTYReset=yes in anaconda.service, which will make
systemd reset the terminal to sane (and unicode-ready) settings.

Finally, emit the magic control sequence to set UTF-8 output, which fixes
the line-drawing characters in text-mode virtual terminals.
