Tor Arne Vestbø d8158c6c93 macOS: Be honest about the system locale
The system locale of a macOS application is not affected by environment
variables like LANG. Yet, we were reporting a name determined from
environment variables as the fallbackUiLocale(), rather than one based
on the language and country of the actual system locale.

This lead, via the usual CLDR likely-subtag fallback, to claiming the
system locale's name, language, script and country were those obtained
from these environment variables, even when they were at odds with the
actual locale being used by the system, which was being used for some
queries.

Worse yet, any data not supplied by these queries was being obtained
from the same CLDR locale as the name, making for an inconsistent mix
of locale data.

While we cannot avoid the likely-subtag fallback step for fallback
data, it is more consistent to use the actual system locale's name
as start-point for that fallback.

At the same time, add support for the language, script and country
queries, so that the QLocale::system() describes itself faithfully,
instead of claiming to be the locale that results from that fallback.

If we want to support LANG or other environment variable overrides,
they should be handled by the layer above the system locale, by
changing the default locale of the Qt application, as if the user
had called QLocale::setDefault().

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QLocale] QLocale::system() on macOS no longer
pretends to support LANG or other environment variables as overrides,
as this is not a feature that the system locale on macOS supports.
To override the locale of an application, use QLocale::setDefault(),
or pass -AppleLocale en_US.

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.
