scripted-diff: Use C.UTF-8 locale in Guix scripts

The C.UTF-8 locale is set by default in `guix shell`, and there is no
reason to avoid it nowadays. This change also silences superfluous
warnings from Qt tools, making build logs cleaner and other issues
easier to spot.

Locales in the `guix-*` launch scripts have been updated as well for
consistency with the rest of the codebase.

-BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT-

sed -i "s/\<export LC_ALL=C\>/export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8/g" \
$( git grep -l "export LC_ALL=C" ./contrib/guix/* )

-END VERIFY SCRIPT-

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a routine cleanup that changes the locale setting in Bitcoin Core's Guix build scripts from the old ASCII-only 'C' locale to the modern 'C.UTF-8' locale. It is not a security fix and does not change any behavior that could be exploited. The stated purpose is to reduce harmless warning messages from Qt tools during builds.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal build-hygiene commit.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.

guix: Add copyright headers to Guix scripts

This commit only adds or updates copyright and license header comments at the top of several helper scripts used for Bitcoin Core's Guix build process. It does not change any executable code, logic, or behavior. There is no security risk.
