RFR: 8042126: DateTimeFormatter "MMMMM" returns English value in Japanese locale

[Masayoshi Okutsu]

Sorry, I forgot about Calendar.getDisplayName. Perhaps the JRE semantic 
(Locale.ROOT is English) support for all narrow names should be given up.

I will take over this one because it will require some changes to the 
locale service provider framework.

Thanks,
Masayoshi
