Made order of names in AUTHORS.md reliable

Details:

* The sort order of the 'sort' command depends on the LC_COLLATE env var
  (which can be overridden by the LC_ALL env var).
  The AUTHORS.md file is generated on every build (because its dependencies
  are the complete set of commits in the repo), and uses the 'sort' command
  when creating it. When the sort order is not reliable, the AUTHORS.md file
  changes, and this causes the publish workflow to have a dirty git status
  due to the change AUTHORS.md file, and thus the upload to Pypi fails.

  This change sets LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 in order to produce a reliable order
  in the UATHORS.md file, independent of the LC_* env vars the environment
  may or may not have set.
