* extracted new class BFormattingConventions from BCountry, which
manages the formatting conventions from a given locale and
allows to get/set the four different date/time formats supported
by ICU-locales as well as number and monetary formats
* overhauled the Locale preflet:
+ drop editing features for all formats, since I don't think
they do not make much sense to have in a prefs GUI - being
able to select from the existing locales should be good
enough. Please note that you can still change the formats
programmatically in an application.
+ renamed the 'Countries' tab to 'Formatting'
+ the locale formatting conventions list in the 'Formatting'
tab is now hierarchical for easier access (less scrolling)
+ fixed functionality of 'Revert' and 'Defaults' buttons
+ added support for using the month/day-names of your preferred
language during date formatting
* adjusted BLocale to ask BFormattingConventions for the current
formats when formatting dates and times and to offer 4
different format styles (full, long, medium and short).
* adjust all classes formatting dates/times to pick the
appropriate format style
* BLocaleRoster no longer directly archives/unarchives the
individual formatting conventions but delegates that to
BFormattingConventions

* BLocale now keeps language and country completely separate and
mixes the formatting conventions into the current language's locale
when formatting dates and times (needs to be done for number- and
currency-formatting, too, since the digits may not be in the
preferred language)
* optimized fetching of the flag icons such that they are all loaded
in one go (by the locale roster) - this alone speeds up the Locale
preflet considerably
* worked on fixing the language confusion in the Locale preflet
* fixed a couple of bugs in the Locale preflet that would lead to
illegal characters being displayed in the date-subpart menus

in BLocale (which is accessible via be_locale)
* adjusted all users accordingly

private accessor classes
* adjust style in BTimeZone::Private implementation to match other classes
of this kind

values
* added locking to BLocale (needed since the data of the global object may
change any time)
* BLocale no longer passes out pointers to internal objects, it fill objects
passed in by the client instead (just like be_locale_roster does)
* dropped default language as member from RosterData, it is no part of the
default locale
* fleshed out implementation of TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat, both
of which can now be given a BLocale in order to set the strings being used
during formatting
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@38428 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Remove the be_locale global object and go through the be_locale_roster instead
* Rework the storage of data for the be_locale_roster, since BLocale already holds a BCountry and a BLanguage.

* refactored private/mutable stuff out of LocaleRoster into MutableLocaleRoster
* moved management of Locale/Time settings file and broadcasting of any changes
out of preflets and into MutableLocaleRoster
* added proper sorting to the listviews of the Locale preflet
* the Time preflet no longer overlaps long timezone names into the actual time
* several fixes with respect to leaking ICU objects, esp. in BCountry
* the locale roster no longer passes out references to its own BCountry object,
but uses copies, instead - this makes locking superfluous, as the clients'
BCountry objects can no longer be changed by the setting a new default
country in the locale roster
* removed pretty useless POSIX-style symbol fetching from BCountry - if we
need that at all, it should live in the dedicated formatter classes
* adjusted readonlybootprompt, dstcheck and Deskbar to the changed Locale API
* refactored existing Time-formatter into TimeUnitFormat and DurationFormat
(the latter of which is now used by AboutSystem)
* added stubs for Date, DateTime and Time formatters
* lots of coding style fixes throughout the Locale Kit and the Locale and Time
preflets
This will probably break most external apps making use of the Locale Kit - it
does break WebPositive.

* use it in readonlybootprompt instead of previous workaround code.
This makes the readonlybootprompt faster and lighter as it doesn't open and parse all the catalogs anymore, but only checks for their existence.

* Introduce an add-on system to allow libbe to call things living inside liblocale (as liblocale depends on libbe, it can't be linked the usual way)
* This allows localizing the BColorControl class that had some text inside it.

* Fix the TimeFormat API, there was a double free. Make it work as expected : you send it a number of seconds and it will format it properly in days, hours, minutes, seconds with proper plural.
* Cleanup other parts of the Format API from useless things. They may get reintroduced later if we feel the need to do so.
* AboutSystem now use TimeFormat to display the uptime in properly localized way.

software looking for them will find them) as a temporary fix for #4747.
In the long run, the functions declared in these headers should be
implemented by means of ICU and then the headers shall be made public again.

-Jamrule for collectcatkeys no longer print all the strings, only a message when it can't parse one (happens for TR(variable) basically)
-Added fingerprint check in the plaintext catalog ReadFromFile. However, the adler checksum is different each time the catalog is loaded because it relies on the string being iterated always in the same order, but this is not always the case with an HashMap ! Some rethinking is needed, so disabled the check for now so it does not breaks the build
-Some try to debug the bluetooth preflet localization. Still buggy, but I wanted to commit all this mess before I break everything up again.
-Also sorted the fr.catkeys files to be in the same order as the autogenerated en.catkeys (this is useless but makes them easier to check) and updated their fingerprint even if they are still not checked.
-Miscelaneous style fixes, small bugfixes, more error checking and error messages saying where they come from.
