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.
* Move relevant parts up into BFormat so other format classes can use
those
* Adjust BDurationFormat and BTimeUnitFormat for the changes
* Remove the "default" date format, it is better to keep only a default
locale and let applications create B*Formats from it as needed.
* Creating a B*Format without arguments to the constructor now
configures it for the default locale, which allows for easy use in
standard cases (formatting something with the current language and
format)
* Creating a B*Format is potentially an expansive operation, it is
advised to keep the instance around and reuse it whenever possible.
However it must be "refreshed" when the locale changes, for apps which
supports that, since it keeps a copy of the language and formatting
convention, rather than a pointer to the locale as it did before.
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!

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

* 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.
