Many languages use small gap as thousands separator.
Thousands separator should not be a plain space, but a narrow space.
And additionally, it is not allowed to wrap line in the middle of the
number.
Locale data were created in a deep age of 8-bit encodings, so most of
them use space (incorrect: it allows wrapping the line in the middle
of the number), or NBSP (better, but typographically incorrect: space
between groups is too wide).
Now UNICODE is widely supported, so we should leave legacy characters
in favor of correct UNICODE character.
UNICODE has a dedicated character for this purpose:
NNBSP
U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE: a narrow form of a no-break space,
typically the width of a thin space or a mid space
The NNBSP exists since Unicode 3.0.
Use of NNBSP will prevent line wrapping in the midle of number and
improve readability of numbers.

The ISO 30112 standard defines the valid values for the category
keyword as only a few options:
posix:1993
i18n:2004
i18n:2012
The vast majority of locales had changed the "i18n" string to the
name of its own locale (e.g. "ak_GH:2013") as well as tweaking the
date (presumably thinking it should be the date of submission).
Convert all of them to "i18n:2012" for consistency. A follow up
change will update localedef to actually check/validate the field.
This updates a bunch of locales based on CLDR v29 data:
bg_BG: changing Bulgaria to България
bo_CN: changing ཀྲུང་ཧྭ་མི་དམངས་སྤྱི་མཐུན་རྒྱལ་ཁབ། to རྒྱ་ནག
bo_IN: changing རྒྱ་གར to རྒྱ་གར་
cy_GB: changing Cymru to Y Deyrnas Unedig
dz_BT: changing འབྲུག། to འབྲུག
en_US: changing USA to United States
es_US: changing USA to Estados Unidos
gd_GB: changing Breatainn Mhòr to An Rìoghachd Aonaichte
ha_NG: changing Nigeria to Najeriya
mk_MK: changing Macedonia to Македонија
mn_MN: changing Mongolia to Монгол
sq_MK: changing Macedonia to Maqedoni
sr_RS@latin: changing Srbija i Crna Gora to Srbija
tr_CY: changing Northern Cyprus to Kıbrıs
tr_TR: changing Turkey to Türkiye
ug_CN: changing 中华人民共和国 to جۇڭگو
uz_UZ: changing O'zbekistan to Oʻzbekiston
vi_VN: changing Việt nam to Việt Nam
wae_CH: changing Switzerland to Schwiz
yi_US: changing די פֿאראײניקטע שטאַטן to פֿאַראייניגטע שטאַטן
yo_NG: changing Nigeria to Orílẹ́ède Nàìjíríà
yue_HK: changing 香港 to 中華人民共和國香港特別行政區
zu_ZA: changing Mzansi Afrika to i-South Africa
These all look largely straightforward. Many had English translations
instead of native, and a few have been updated. I can't verify some of
them as I'm not personally familiar, but the CLDR data matches.
The USA->United States seems a little odd, but that is also what the
CLDR database uses everywhere (rather than "United States of America").
We can also fill in a country name where there wasn't one before.
Many look correct to me (mostly the English ones), but there's also
many that I have no idea. But it can't be worse than leaving it
blank ? :)

There are only two measurement systems that locales use: US and metric.
For the former, move to copying the en_US locale, while for the latter,
move to copying the i18n locale. This lets us clean up all the stray
comments like FIXME.
There should be no functional differences here.
