>> Please review this test-only fix. For non-ascii vendor strings the hotspot container tests fail in fastdebug because the encoding of the vendor string doesn't match. Full details in [JDK-8375471](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8375471). In order to avoid the assert, the containers need to set to an UTF-8 encoding. This patch proposes to do so by setting `LANG=C.UTF-8`.
