Upstream glibc doe not provide it: https://sourceware.org/PR17318 but Debian and RHEL do (upstream bug has a link to fedora patch). systemd relies on presence of this locale in system: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/10742 On top of locale presence we will need to make sure locale-gen always picks C.UTF-8.
Added to gentoo/2.27, 2.28, 9999 branches. I used the Fedora patch because codonell is the one working on upstreaming it...

It's in 2.28-r3 (patchset 4), with an updated locale-gen that always implicitly adds "C.UTF-8 UTF-8" to the list of locales.
