Python doesn't have locale database, while have some aliases.
Python uses libc's locale.
This exception is raised because `_parse_localename` doesn't support
locale name without encoding.
In case of zh_TW, alias is registered:
'zh_tw': 'zh_TW.big5',
But I don't think adding `lzh_tw` to alias is good idea.
There are no "one right alias table". In case of zh_tw, you may
want zh_TW.UTF-8 rather than zh_TW.bit5, don't you?
So I think supporting locale name without encoding is right way.
Maybe, we should return None for encoding in such situation.
