[RFC][PATCH v7 00/16][BZ 10871] Month names in alternative (nominative/genitive) case


According to Zack's suggestion [1] here I repost my set of patches
rebased against the current master with the background compatibility
features skipped.  Ironically, all rebase changes were needed only
in those skipped compatibility parts and only because NaCl port
has been removed.  There are no other relevant changes between the
previous post [2] and this one.

As recently, this series is incomplete.  As I mentioned above, the
compatibility features are skipped and my suggestion is to reject
them.  Also I skip the changes in the locale data: they should be
provided by the actual language communities or imported from CLDR.
However, I've performed this import and it is available in my
github repo [3] but still I'd like it to be verified by the local
communities.  This github repo may be also a convenient resource
to browse the changes.  Please note that you need the locale data
changed in order to see any difference between patched and not
patched binaries.

Also I'd like to remind that I've built my own COPR repository [4]
with binary packages for Fedora and compatible distributions
with these patches applied, without backward compatibility,
so those brave enough can test the working system already.
If the backward compatibility was present you'd have to rebuild
your applications from source to see any effect.  The repository
provides also some other packages patched to reflect the changes
in glibc.

Documentation (man pages, NEWS, ChangeLog) are missing deliberately,
before writing anything I'd like to hear that the source code
patches will be accepted.

Regards,

Rafal
