Edward Welbourne cb23d50f38 Update CLDR to v37, adding Nigerian Pidgin as a new language
Routine update by running scripts, ignoring clang-format's extensive
grumbles. Added notes to util/locale_database/'s README, on the need
for that, and enumdata.py, on when to add entries. As usual, several
new locales are also added, for existing languages, territories and
scripts.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QLocale] Updated to new version of CLDR (the
Unicode Consortium's Common Locale Data Repository) v37.

Fixes: QTBUG-84669
Pick-to: 5.15

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.
