This enables us to make the sizes quint8 and benefit from the
resulting packing, making the locale data smaller. The sizes for long
month-name lists (which concatenate twelve names with semicolon as
separator) can overflow an 8-bit member, so use quint16 where needed.
Re-ordered the data in QLocaleData and QCalendarLocale. Now all
long-short(-narrow) families arise in that order; and any standalone
is grouped with the one of the same length. (This cost 20 bytes in the
date-format table, which optimises out more duplication if short is
before long, but the saving in the (smaller) time-format table more
than make up for it; and 20 bytes isn't worth the confusion that being
inconsistent in ordering might cause.)
At the same time, drop trailing semicolons from list entries (which
join various names with semicolon) as they're not needed: we know
where the end of the list is, because we know the size of the string
that results from concatenation. The code that parses such lists can
even correctly handle empty entries at the end.
Saves 26 kB of data in the compiled binaries.
