The full representation of the alternative calendar year (%EY)
typically includes an internal use of "%Ey". As a GNU extension,
apply any flags on "%EY" (e.g. "%_EY", "%-EY") to the internal "%Ey",
allowing users of "%EY" to control how the year is padded.

ChangeLog:
[BZ #24096]
* manual/time.texi (strftime): Document "%EC" and "%EY".
* time/Makefile (tests): Add tst-strftime2.
(LOCALES): Add ja_JP.UTF-8, lo_LA.UTF-8, and th_TH.UTF-8.
* time/strftime_l.c (__strftime_internal): Add argument yr_spec to
override padding for "%Ey".
If an optional flag ('_' or '-') is specified to "%EY", interpret the
"%Ey" in the subformat as if decorated with that flag.
* time/tst-strftime2.c: New file.
In Japanese locales, strftime's alternative year format (%Ey) produces
a year numbered within a time period called an _era_. A new era
typically begins when a new emperor is enthroned. The result of "%Ey"
is therefore usually a one- or two-digit number.
Many programs that display Japanese era dates assume that the era year
is two digits wide. To improve how these programs display dates
during the first nine years of a new era, change "%Ey" to pad one-
digit numbers on the left with a zero. This change applies to all
locales. It is expected to be harmless for other locales that use the
alternative year format (e.g. lo_LA and th_TH, in which "%Ey" produces
the year of the Buddhist calendar) as those calendars' year numbers
are already more than two digits wide, and this is not expected to
change.
This change needs to be in place before 2019-05-01 CE, as a new era is
scheduled to begin on that date.

* manual/time.texi (strftime): Document "%Ey".
* time/strftime_l.c (__strftime_internal): Set the default width
padding with zero of "%Ey" to 2.
@var is intended for placeholders (such as function parameters).
Actual variables need to use @code because @var causes upper-case
output, resulting in a different C identifier.
"%OB" is considered a conversion specifier ("B" is the format
specifier), and the list of format specifiers for months in the
description of the optional "O" modifier was incomplete. A
cross-reference from the ALTMON_* constants to the strftime section
is also provided. Lastly, some grammatical fixes (commas) are made
and paragraphs refactored (rewrapped).

The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is
performed. If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will
fail, reporting all errors. Failure and error reporting is disabled
for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete
wrt. header and standards annotations.
Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl
respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is
introduced in the Makefile. Other notable deviations are improved
detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for
sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into
the manual. The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is
that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and
standard combination.
summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected
syntax of @standards. If errors are reported, the user is directed to
this feature for further information.

Texinfo @vindex commands add entries to the Variable and Constant
Macro Index. Similarly, @items in @vtables are automatically indexed.
A number of @tables exist where all @items are @vindexed or all @items
are variables, but not indexed, suggesting an optimization by
converting such @tables to @vtables and dropping the @vindex.
Using a @vtable provides a context for processing @items whereby it
can be known the @items should have header and standards annotations.
This commit converts @tables of such @items to @vtables in order to
establish a framework for automated processing.
A pleasant consequence of these changes is that @items previously
lacking a @vindex are present in the Variable and Constant Macro Index
now. @vindex entries previously detected by summary.awk will still be
detected as @items with appropriate annotations.
The @vtable of the NSS databases is converted to a @table because 1)
those @items are not variables (and will no longer appear in the
Variable and Constant Macro Index) and 2) they do not need header and
standards annotations, so the incorrect context is fixed.

%P is a GNU extension, and is not in ISO C99.

%T is also in ISO C99.
The RFC 822 example is not valid in arbitrary locales.
Reword the POSIX.2 wording slightly, to make it a bit clearer
that POSIX.2 formats are also supported by later POSIX versions.
If a format was introduced in ISO C99 it is also required by
POSIX.1-2001.
