NLS/strerror efficiency

[Kostik Belousov]

Hi,
r189765 enabled NLS support for libc. Now, any strerror(3) call causes
4 (!) failing stat(2) calls. I think this is untolerable.

Catopen() does not cache the catalog descriptor, at least for libc,
at least for the case where the open failed.

On the active web server, these msgcat activities easily become
dominant in the CPU time of the web server process.
