"Renaming" means the icu namespace is suffixed with the version number,
atm icu_55. Using "renaming" allows to use two different versions of ICU,
thus easing upgrades. For instance haikuwebkit uses a current version of ICU,
while the system uses a newer one after an upgrade.
* Replace all uses of the icu namespace in our public headers, with a macro
defaulting to icu. As the namespace is only used for private fields pointers,
there should be no impact.
* Locale kit *.cpp have to import the macro from <unicode/uversion.h> *before*
including any locale headers. Ditto for a Time preferences cpp file. This way,
the correct current icu namespace is referenced.
* Fixes bug #12057.
The language and formatting conventions can now only be set when
creating the objects. This removed the needs for locking them when
formatting to avoid some other thread changing the format while it's
being used.
Adjust tests and DeskBar TimeView to the API changes.
* Harmonize API for all B*Format to take an output BString by reference
as the first parameter,
* Move the FormatTime methods from BLocale to BTimeFormat
* Adjust all callers for BTimeFormat, BTimeUnitFormat and
BDurationFormat.
* 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.

-Added a very simple test that shows the API is corrupting memory and ends up crashing
-Fixed build of other locale tests
