Edward Welbourne bcdd51cfae Prepare to support taking CLDR data from its github upstream
We've previously used the zip-file form, but that's not been published
for CLDR v44.1 - the advice on the list was to use github
instead. That, however, has ↑↑↑ as a special value for fields, meaning
to inherit from a prent locale. So special-case that value. I have
verified that v44 from the zip file produces identical results to v44
from github, with this minor fix. As it happens v44.1 also produces
identical results.

Pick-to: 6.7 6.5

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.
