[Bug localedata/22848] ca_ES: update date definitions from CLDR


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22848

--- Comment #4 from Rafal Luzynski <digitalfreak at lingonborough dot com> ---
According to man strftime(3):

"%D     Equivalent to %m/%d/%y.  (Yecch—for Americans only.  Americans should
note that in other countries %d/%m/%y is rather common.  This means that in
international context this format is ambiguous and should not be used.)"

So, `date +"%D"` is not supposed to be locale-aware. It should display
"02/18/18" on all computers today.  Do you see anything different in your
computer?
