lint: Do not allow locale dependent shell scripts

Bash is discouraged, and there was never a need to write locale
dependent Bash.

So remove the option and clarify that the LC_ALL settings enable UTF-8
mode in Python.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a minor change to a linting script that checks shell scripts for locale settings. It removes an optional opt-out for locale-dependent scripts and clarifies documentation. There is no security-relevant change to Bitcoin Core's runtime behavior, consensus code, or network handling.

Recommended action

No action required. This is a non-security linting policy change.

Security signals we found

No strong security signals were identified.
