xzgrep: Add more LC_ALL=C to avoid bugs with multibyte characters.
Also replace one use of expr with printf. The rationale for LC_ALL=C was already mentioned in 69d1b3fc29677af8ade8dc15dba83f0589cb63d6 that fixed a security issue. However, unrelated uses weren't changed in that commit yet. POSIX says that with sed and such tools one should use LC_ALL=C to ensure predictable behavior when strings contain byte sequences that aren't valid multibyte characters in the current locale. See under "Application usage" in here: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sed.html With GNU sed invalid multibyte strings would work without this; it's documented in its Texinfo manual. Some other implementations aren't so forgiving.
