[LU-375] port bug21847 to master (obdfilter-survey: Syntax error in some locales)

Description

The obdfilter-survey script internally uses awk multiple times to process test results.
Specifically, it uses awk output and feeds it back into another awk run. This can cause problems
when the environment of the calling user contains locale settings that are incompatible with the
number format of the C locale, eg. with LC_NUMERIC="de_DE" which uses a comma as the decimal
separator: awk output will have the localized format, input can be parsed in this and the standard
C locale, but arithmetic operations only grok numbers in C locale.

I think that HongChao has already been tracking this port under LU349
