Edward Welbourne 17701a95f8 QLocale: simplify currency display name lookup
We were extracting several candidate display names from CLDR for each
currency, joining them with semicolons, storing in a table, then using
only the first entry from the list - where we should probably have
used the first non-empty entry in any case.

So instead extract the first non-empty candidate name from CLDR and
store that simply, saving the need for semicolon-joining or parsing
out the first entry from the thus-joined list. This significantly
reduces the size of the currency name data table.

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.
