git-codereview: override existing locale with LC_ALL=C

The git-codereview tool shells out to git, then parses the output.
However, because git respects a user's locale settings its output might
not be in English, confusing git-codereview.

Explicitly set the LC_ALL environment variable to the "C" locale, which
is a version of US English that should be on all machines.

Fixes golang/go#33895
