[RFC][PATCH v9 0/6][BZ 10871] Month names in alternative grammatical case

[Rafal Luzynski <digitalfreak at lingonborough dot com>]

Following the last review from Zack Weinberg [1] [2] here is the next
version of the patches.  Changes include:

Patch 1: The changes to the locale/loadlocale.c file have been split
out; they are not directly related with this bug but necessary to be
pushed before the other patches.

Patch 2: As requested by Zack, all changes related with adding the
alternative full month names have been squashed except the changes
to locale/loadlocale.c and the automatically generated file
locale/programs/locfile-kw.h which have been split out.

Patch 3: SKIPPED.  I'm not sure if I understood correctly.  As requested
by Zack, [3] I don't post the diff to a generated file to libc-alpha.
This patch is necessary to be pushed anyway, it is available in bugzilla. [4]

Patch 4: As requested previously, abbreviated alternative month names
are initialized to "Jan", "Feb", etc. instead of being left empty.
Also the changes to locale/programs/locfile-kw.h which have been split out.

Patch 5: SKIPPED.  The same reasons as patch 3.

Patch 6: Provides the changes to NEWS and the local documentation.

It is possible but highly unlikely that this is the final version of these
patches ready to push to the repository.  Please review, especially
the documentation, wording, etc. (English native speakers are welcome.)

Regards,

Rafal
