"utf8" charmap in locale name is wrong

Bug description:
Binary package hint: language-selector
LanguageSelector/macros.py explicitly sets the charmap part of locale
strings to "utf8" - it should be set to "UTF-8" instead. This is
relevant because not all systems alias locale names with the former to
the latter, and compatibility with those systems is broken.
Rationale for this change is that the 'locales' package uses the uppercase hyphenated format everywhere, even going as far as replacing '.utf8' with it in one case:
% dpkg -L locales | xargs grep '\.utf8'
/usr/sbin/locale-gen: elif [ $IS_LANG = no ] && L=`grep "^${1/%.utf8/.UTF-8} " /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED`; then
