Fix locale test for older OSes #1240

After merging #1168, Dev11_0836436_get_time began failing in our Microsoft-internal test harness, but only for individual developer test runs (instead of PR/CI test runs, which is how this got through checkin validation). We tracked it down to variation in the OS versions of our test machines. This GitHub repo uses an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set with Windows Server 2019 Datacenter:

$WindowsServerSku = '2019-Datacenter'

However, some of our internal test machines use Windows Server 2016, which doesn't support UTF-8 locales. Because this test uses only wide strings, we don't actually care about the locale's codepage for narrow strings, so the fix is to remove ".utf-8". Additionally, we were spelling the Russian locale as "ru_RU" and the German locale as "de_DE". There appears to be OS variation here too - the older OS doesn't like the underscores. Spelling the locales with dashes, as we were already doing for "zh-CN", allows the test to pass.

There are no other changes besides clang-format rewrapping.

Thanks for picking this up! I knew enough to run it to ground, but not to smoke it out.

No problem - locales are a notorious weak point for me, so I learned a little while investigating this.
