* add MultibyteStringToWchar() to ICU locale backend
* implement mbsrtowcs() and mbsnrtowcs() on top of
MultibyteStringToWchar()
* drop respective glibc files
* update copyrights of locale backend files
Multibyte-support has been rewritten to use ICU as backend.
While this does not necessarily work properly in every aspect
(e.g. the shell still has [different] problems with multibyte-
characters now), it does fix#6263 and #7700.
* add actual converter methods MultibyteToWchar() and WcharToMultibyte()
to locale backend and implement them in the ctype subpart
* add management code for maintaining converters referenced by mbstate_t
for message formatting
* adjust LocaleKit to use namespace 'icu', as ICU has been configured to no longer
use a version specific namespace
* adjust LocaleKit to general API changes in ICU 4.8
Note: all software using ICU (like WebPositive) needs to be rebuilt!
Note: the ICU package for PPC needs to be updated before it can be used!

(now at least <std> and <offset> are supported properly)
* instead of creating a TimeZone object whenever needed, we now
create it in tzset() and keep it around
* add tests for TZ to locale_test

use strlcpy() instead of strcpy() for improved clarity, although
the buffer is always wide enough [famous last words ...]

make some more perl tests happy.
* no longer expect a ICU timezone ID in the TZ environment variable,
but only expect this format if the TZ-value is starting with ':'
* accept "standard" TZ-values like "EST5" (of which only "EST" is
relevant to us) - if such a value is specified, we hardcode the
timezone name to the given value, no matter how ICU calls it
* adjust tests accordingly

* protect against invocations of ctype-macros/-functions with negative
character indices by mirroring the corresponding values at negative
array indices (the legal access range of __ctype_b is now [-128..255])

* avoid trying to overwrite values of a constant structure when
updating the numeric locale data values used by glibc
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38623 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
the POSIX specs are a bit vague on this (to say the least)
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38606 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* no longer keep a separate time-backend, since the implementation needs to
access (data of) the locale backend anyway
* moved more stuff from localtime_fading_out.c to localtime.cpp
* added respective tests to locale_test
* added two more tests copied from glibc, test_time.c and tst-mktime.c
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38162 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
of localtime(), gmtime() and mktime()
* implemented tzset() to read the required info from libroot_timezone_info

* reset errno to 0 if it has been set during execution of any ICU method
(which doesn't set errno itself, but may invoke system functions that do)
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@37736 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* support invocation of ctype/wctype macros with EOF/WEOF (-1), which would
access more or less random memory before - I don't know why this worked
more or less reliably for the POSIX locale, but it didn't for any other
