Pull request description:
The linters are thoroughly tested under Ubuntu which is what we use in Travis. When reading #14041 I understood that some developers were experiencing problems when running the linters on their local machines.
Assuming these local machines were running macOS I installed a fresh macOS VM, followed the instructions in `build-osx.md` and ran the linters.
This PR contains the changes needed to make `lint-all.sh` run as expected.
Ideally the linters would continuously run also under a Travis macOS environment to make sure we catch these kind of issues before merge.

~~Make sure `LC_ALL=C` is set when using `grep` range expressions.~~
Make sure `LC_ALL=C` is set in all shell scripts.
From the `grep(1)` documentation:
> Within a bracket expression, a range expression consists of two characters separated by a hyphen. It matches any single character that sorts between the two characters, inclusive, using the locale's collating sequence and character set. For example, in the default C locale, `[a-d]` is equivalent to `[abcd]`. Many locales sort characters in dictionary order, and in these locales `[a-d]` is typically not equivalent to `[abcd]`; it might be equivalent to `[aBbCcDd]`, for example. To obtain the traditional interpretation of bracket expressions, you can use the C locale by setting the `LC_ALL` environment variable to the value C.

0a4ea2f4589961868ab4d25e0277485c31938e20 build: Add linter for checking accidental locale dependence (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
This linter will check for code accidentally introducing locale dependencies.
Unnecessary locale dependence can cause bugs that are very tricky to isolate and fix. We should avoid using locale dependent functions if possible.
Context: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12881#issuecomment-378564722
Example output:
```
$ contrib/devtools/lint-locale-dependence.sh
The locale dependent function tolower(...) appears to be used:
src/init.cpp: if (s[0] == '0' && std::tolower(s[1]) == 'x') {
Unnecessary locale dependence can cause bugs that are very
tricky to isolate and fix. Please avoid using locale dependent
functions if possible.
Advice not applicable in this specific case? Add an exception
by updating the ignore list in contrib/devtools/lint-locale-dependence.sh
```
**Note to reviewers:** What is the most appropriate `LOCALE_DEPENDENT_FUNCTIONS` function list? What should be added or removed?
