dot/profile: Bodge to preserve `LANG' across SSH.

This is Debian #392856, OpenSSH upstream #1346.  Retain our chosen
`LANG' in another variable `LC_MDWSSHLANG', and reset the former from
the latter if it exists.  The bizarre name helps with transmitting our
new variable through SSH connections and suchlike which might have
random limitations on environment variables.
