This new localechooser introduces the four levels of languages:

level 0: only displayed in ASCII environments. This includes C and
English

level 1: Latin-1 languages. These will be displayed when the
environment is Latin-1 only (actually non serial consoles with no
framebuffer)

level 2: most languages except those requiring special processing that
make them undisplayable in the most common text environment with
frambuffer, or for which glyphs are currently missing in bterm-unifont

level 3: all languages. Will be used in the graphical installer

The code used to determine which environment we are in is currently a
bit whacky and probably not covering all possible cases. For instance,
it will use level 0 in all cases where a seriel console is used...even
if this serial console is 8-bit capable.
