[1/3] cross-localedef-native: prune patch list

The cross-localedef-native recipe builds on top of glibc and drops in an
autoconf tree to build just localedef.  For some reason we're applying a
partial subset of glibc patches that do not impact the localedef build
at all, for example adding documentation or fixing nscd.

Remove patches and other assignments that don't impact the build of
localedef.

failures, see: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Patchtest. Thank
you!

The fixes were needed for build only pieces. It does build fair bit of
glibc infra before building localedef. But its good to review it from time
to time. If there are no build issues we should largely be OK with this
patch

I ended up looking at buildroot’s way to build localedef and it’s a bit neater, I wonder if we should share patches…
