Comment (by mikeperry):

 Last minute pref changes like this are not a good idea, especially since
 we've not consolidated the rest of our changes around this new
 resistFingerprinting pref, having it only apply to locale at this point
 seems weird. Not to mention we need to update Torbutton now just for this
 change, or it will stop working properly.

 I'd much rather just fix the test and the underscore issue in this patch.
 It will make the delta smaller and easier to review and deal with at this
 late stage.
