Edward Welbourne f83206229e Apply a common style to the main()s of locale database programs
Include documentation in both, using common phrasing. Take sys.argv as
a parameter, along with sys.stdout and sys.stderr, so that we can
invoke them from python when importing into a python session to debug
or test. Supply the script name to the argument parser as prog, so it
can correctly report it and forward the rest of argv to parse_args().
Remove comments anticipating one of the several calendars we don't yet
support; the existing entries suffice to make clear what shall be
needed when we get round to adding more.

README

locale_database is used to generate qlocale data from CLDR.

CLDR is the Common Locale Data Repository, a database for localized
data (like date formats, country names etc).  It is provided by the
Unicode consortium.

See cldr2qlocalexml.py for how to run it and qlocalexml2cpp.py to
update the locale data tables (principally text/qlocale_data_p.h and
time/q*calendar_data_p.h under src/corelib/). See enumdata.py for when
and how to update the data it provides. You shall definitely need to
pass --no-verify or -n to git commit for these changes.

See cldr2qtimezone.py on how to update tables of Windows-specific
names for zones and UTC-offset zone names.
