texdoc shows me German docs for some reason

[Takuto ASAKURA]

Hi Norbert, hi George,

thanks for providing the entire locale settings and the search results. We have some reported issues with the locale judgment feature:

- https://github.com/TeX-Live/texdoc/issues/78

I hope fixing these issues will also solve the strange behaviors; we will use the provided cases for debugging.
