Silence setlocale warnings in Java stub

Since 17cfa015d73, the java_stub_template.txt file calls into the locale tool to check for the presence of cetain locales.  These calls correctly send error messages to stderr.

Unfortunately, *bash* itself is doing locale lookups as soon as it sees that the LANG or LC_* variables are touched, and this results in warnings that pollute the output.  In our builds, the output is polluted with hundreds of warnings like these:

```
bazel-out/aarch64-opt-exec-CF41B97/bin/external/bfg/lang/java/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/bfg/JavaSourceFileParserCli: line 100: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (): No such file or directory
bazel-out/aarch64-opt-exec-CF41B97/bin/external/bfg/lang/java/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/bfg/JavaSourceFileParserCli: line 102: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (): No such file or directory
```

There is nothing we can do to avoid these warnings.  Trying to set the LANG or LC_* variables via --action_env and --host_action_env has no effect (other than trigger more/different warnings).

The problem stems from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1361965, which has been fixed in various distros but hasn't made its way to the one we are currently using.

Given that it's bash that is complaining, we can easily side-step this issue by patching the template and wrapping the problematic invocations behind "env".  In this way, bash never gets to see the locale changes. This change does precisely this.

Closes #17670.
