Improve collation string and locales support

Merge collation support from Illumos and DragonflyBSD.

Locales are now generated with the new localedef(1) tool from CLDR POSIX files.
The generated files are now identified as "BSD 1.0" format.

The libc now only read "BSD 1.0" locales definitions, all other version will be
set to "C"
The localedef(1) tool has been imported from Illumos and modified to use tree(3)
instead of the CDDL avl(3)
A set of tool created by edwin@ and extended by marino@ for dragonfly has been
added to be able to generate locales and the Makefiles from the vanilla CLDR
unicode databases + a universal UTF-8 charmap (by marino@)
Update the locales to unicode v27
Given our regex(3) does not support multibyte (yet) it has been forced to always
use locale C
Remove now unused colldef(1) and mklocale(1)
Finish implementing the numeric BSD extension for ctypes
The number of supported locales has grown from 175 to 250 locales. Among the new
locales: 6 Arabic locales (AE EG JO MA QA SA), Different variations of spanish
locales.
Added new 3 components locales for mn_Cyrl_MN, sr_Cyrl_RS sr_Latn_RS,
zh_Hans_CN, zh_Hant_HK and zh_Hant_TW. Some aliases has been for 2 components
version when possible.

Thanks: Garrett D'Amore (Illumos) who made sure all his work was done under
BSD license!, Edwin Groothuis (edwin@) for the work he made on tools to be able
to generate locales definition usable in freebsd sources out of vanilla CLDR
definitions, John Marino (DragonflyBSD) who first merge the Illumos work into
Dragonfly and spent hours tracking down bugs.

libc: Fix (and improve) nl_langinfo (CODESET)

The output of "locale charmap" is identical to the result of
nl_langinfo (CODESET) for any given locale. The logic for returning the
codeset was very simplistic. It just returned portion of the locale name
after the period (e.g. en_FR.ISO8859-1 returned "ISO8859-1").

When softlinks were added to locales, this broke. e.g.:
en_US returned ""
en_FR.UTF8 returned "UTF8"
en_FR.UTF-8 returned "UTF-8"
zh_Hant_HK.Big5HKSCS returned "Big5HKSCS"
zh_Hant_TW.Big5 returned "Big5"
es_ES@euro returned ""

In order to fix this properly, the named locale cannot be used to
determine the encoding. This information was almost available in the
rune data. Unfortunately, all the single byte encodings were listed
as "NONE" encoding.

So I adjusted localedef tool to provide more information about the
encoding. For example, instead of "NONE", the LC_CTYPE used by
fr_FR.ISO8859-15 is now encoded as "NONE:ISO8859-15". The locale
handlers now check if the first four characters of the encoding is
"NONE" and if so, treats it as a single-byte encoding.

The nl_langinfo handling of CODESET was adjusting accordingly. Now the
following is returned:
en_US returns "ISO8859-1"
fr_FR.UTF8 returns "UTF-8"
fr_FR.UTF-8 returns "UTF-8"
zh_Hant_HK.Big5HKSCS returns "Big5"
zh_Hant_TW.Big5 returns "Big5"
es_ES@euro returns "ISO8859-15"

as before, "C" and "POSIX" locales return "US-ASCII". This is a big
improvement. The result of nl_langinfo can never be a zero-length
string and it will always exclusively one of the values of the
character maps of /usr/src/tools/tools/locale/etc/final-maps.

Add localedef(1), a locale definition generator tool

The localedef tool can read entire (and unmodified) CLDR posix definition
files, and generate all 6 LC categories: LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_TIME,
LC_NUMERIC, LC_MONETARY and LC_MESSAGES.

This tool has a long history with Solaris. The Nexenta developers
modified it to read CLDR files and created the much richer collation
formats. The libc collation functions have to be modified to read the
new format (called "BSD-1.0") and to handle the new data structures.

The result will be that locale-sensitive tools and functions will now
properly sort multibyte and unicode strings.
