Edward Welbourne 5f8dc8ea5f Purge an almost-redundant duplicate datetime format conversion
The QLocale XML reader was passing datetime formats through a format
conversion despite the data being converted at the point where we read
it from CLDR. It turns out this was needed because the long date and
time formats in our hard-coded data for the C Locale object used CLDR
format strings, unlike all other Locale objects. Fix those two formats
in the C locale and remove the redundant processing step. This, in
turn, enables the parser to include the date and time formats in its
general handling of most fields that it reads.

This does not result in any change to the generated data QLocale uses
(although it does change the intermediate QLocale XML file).

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.
