On chart X-axis labels and last_updated column. See #188

This code obeys $LC_TIME first, then the (platform-specific) locales second - see https://github.com/jeandeaual/go-locale (I have submitted upstream issue to use LC_xxx variables - https://github.com/jeandeaual/go-locale/issues/10)

The actual formatting uses https://github.com/goodsign/monday to translate day/month names (including abbreviations).

Further work:

~~use local-specific formats (not just translations)~~ doesn't seem to be good alignment
change Numericf() and Monetaryf() to use the same locale-detection (with $LC_NUMERIC and $LC_MONETARY overrides)

Example LC_TIME=hu-HU ./bin/cointop
