Allow initdb to complete on systems without "locale" command

This partially reverts 2fe3bdb, which
added an error check on the "locale -a" execution.  This is removed
again, adding a comment explaining why.  We already had code that
shows a warning if no system locales could be found, which should be
sufficient for feedback to the user.
