Suggest installing minimal localization.

In a discussion with Stephen Gallagher <sgallagh@redhat.com> we
identified that it has been 4 years since we transitioned to
language packs and that at this point we could switch the suggestion
from glibc-all-langpacks to glibc-minimal-langpack which would
prevent an installation from ever accidentally having the larger
installation with all language packs.

This does not yet fix bug 1380069 which is about the removal of
glibc language packs and the way in which the virtual provide is
used.

# For language packs we have glibc require a virtual dependency
# "glibc-langpack" wich gives us at least one installed langpack.
# If no langpack providing 'glibc-langpack' was installed you'd
# get all of them, and that would make the transition from a
# system without langpacks smoother (you'd get all the locales
# installed). You would then trim that list, and the trimmed list
# is preserved. One problem is you can't have "no" locales installed,
# in that case we offer a "glibc-minimal-langpack" sub-pakcage for
# this purpose.
# get language-neutral support e.g. C, POSIX, and C.UTF-8 locales.
# In the past we used to install the glibc-all-langpacks by default
# but we no longer do this to minimize container and VM sizes.
# Today you must actively use the language packs infrastructure to
# install language support.
