synchronize LANG from Chrome settings

Project Member Reported by vapier@chromium.org, Nov 2

Issue description

we should be setting the LANG env var inside the container (not the VM) based on the Chrome settings

the container tends to utilize locale names that glibc expects:
  http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Locale-Names.html#Locale-Names

those don't line up directly with the names Chrome uses, so we'll have to have a translation layer in Chrome somewhere (assuming it doesn't have one already)
 
Should we consider some more-generic solution to plumb host environment variables through to the VM to resolve both this and Issue 829934?
we aren't talking about environment variables as in |environ|.  in both cases, we need to marshal the user's state outside of the VM into a form the OS inside the VM can understand/work with.
