Ava Chow 18d003c3dc Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#34916: contrib: override system locale in gen-manpages.py
758f208cc1 contrib: override system locale in gen-manpages.py (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  `bitcoin-qt --help` emits a translation of "version", which creates a diff when updating or verifying man pages.

  The script aborts earlier however, because `bitcoin-qt --version` also emits a localized output, which triggers the `Copyright (C)` assertion on a translated term like "Auteursrecht".

  Fix this by passing `--lang=en` to both `bitcoin-qt` invocations.

  None of the actual command options are translated, so this commit does not affect the actual manual page.

  Noticed while verifying the manual updates in #34800 on macOS with Dutch system locale.

  See also https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/lint/lint-locale-dependence.py notes about localization (though the issue here is translation).
