gdbinit.py: fix message when locales are wrong (#1573)

* gdbinit.py: fix message when locales are wrong

Apparently the suggested solution is not great:

```
nix@33843c903468:~$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
en_US.utf8
nix@33843c903468:~$ LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 pwndbg
/nix/store/qqa28hmysc23yy081d178jfd9a1yk8aw-bash-5.2-p15/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
******
Your encoding (ANSI_X3.4-1968) is different than UTF-8. pwndbg might not work properly.
You might try launching gdb with:
    LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 PYTHONIOENCODING=UTF-8 gdb
Make sure that en_US.UTF-8 is activated in /etc/locale.gen and you called locale-gen

Use the procinfo command for better process introspection (than the GDB's info proc command)
