Edward Welbourne 4641ff0f6a Add new am/pm format-specifier that preserves locale's case
The existing a, ap, A and AP specifiers all force the case of the
formatted am/pm indicator. The indicators returned by QLocale's
amText() and pmText() methods are those given in CLDR, with no case
coercion. Application writers may reasonably want these strings used
verbatim, rather than having to chose a case and impose it on the
locale's indicators, in defiance of national custom. For example,
while en_US uses upper-case indicators by default, cs_CZ uses
lower-case ones. An application author writing a time format has been
forced to chose which of these locales to be wrong in.

Add support for aP and Ap specifiers, whose mixed case indicates that
the locale's case is to be respected. Amend an existing test-case of
tst_QLocale's formatDateTime() that used Ap (expecting, of course, an
upper-case indicator followed by a stray p) to now expect the
locale-appropriate-cased indicator. Extend formatTime() to test cases
using aP and Ap, to illustrate the difference between en_US and cs_CZ.

Rework QDateTimeParser to also support the new format specifier. This
required expanding its Case enum, used by the getAmPmText() method,
which was formerly shared with QDateTimeEditPrivate; however, as that
class no longer makes any reference to this method, it and the enum
can be made private, allowing a systematic clean-up of their use.
Added test-cases for both serialization and parsing; and amended some
existing parsing tests to verify am/pm indicators are matched
case-insensitively.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][Important Behavior Changes] Time formats used by
QLocale, QTime and QDateTime's parsing and serialization now recognize
'aP' and 'Ap' format specifiers to obtain an AM/PM indicator, using
the locale-appropriate case for the indicator, where previously the
author of a time format had to pick a case that might conflict with
the user's locale. For QTime and QDateTime the locale is always C,
whose indicators are uppercase. For QLocale, the case will now match
that of amText() or pmText(). Previously, 'aP' would have been read as
a lower-case indicator followed by a 'P' and 'Ap' as an upper-case
indicator followed by a 'p'. The 'P' or 'p' will now be treated as
part of the format specifier: if the prior behavior is desired, either
use 'APp' or 'apP' as format specifier or quote the 'p' or 'P' in the
format. The prior 'a', 'ap', 'A' and 'AP' specifiers are otherwise
unaffected.

README

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
