v0.5.5: export LANG before anaconda (fixes AnacondaError: 'LANG')

Browse source 
Auto-install harness ran through gum installer cleanly but anaconda
crashed at startup:

  File "/usr/lib64/python3.14/site-packages/pyanaconda/keyboard.py",
       line 152, in activate_keyboard
    sync_run_task(task_proxy)
  ...
  pyanaconda.modules.common.errors.general.AnacondaError: 'LANG'

Anaconda's keyboard.activate_keyboard() reads $LANG and bombs if unset.
TTY1 (where veilor-installer runs) inherits no locale by default;
gum/whiptail don't set it.

Fix: export LANG + LC_ALL = user's chosen locale (defaulting to
en_GB.UTF-8) before invoking anaconda.

Found via test/auto-install.sh end-to-end run.
