> This PR introduces a new efficient API for appending two-digit integers to StringBuilders and refactors DateTimeHelper to leverage this new functionality.
> 
> Changes include:
> 
> 1. New `appendPair` method for efficient two-digit integer formatting (00-99):
>    - Added `AbstractStringBuilder.appendPair(int i)` with core implementation
>    - Added `JavaLangAccess.appendPair(StringBuilder, int)` for internal access
>    - Added `System.JavaLangAccessImpl.appendPair(StringBuilder, int)` bridge
>    - Added `DecimalDigits.appendPair(StringBuilder, int)` public static utility method
>    - Enhanced Javadoc documentation for all new methods
> 
> 2. Refactored `DateTimeHelper` to use the new `DecimalDigits.appendPair`:
>    - Updated `DateTimeHelper.formatTo` methods for `LocalDate` and `LocalTime`
>    - Replaced manual formatting logic with the new efficient two-digit appending
>    - Improved code clarity and consistency in date/time formatting
> 
> These changes improve code clarity and performance when formatting two-digit numbers, particularly in date/time formatting scenarios.

 - Add DecimalDigitsTest to verify appendPair method with LATIN1 and UTF16 encoding
 - Use DecimalDigits.appendPair for formatting in time classes
   
   This change modifies the toString() methods in MonthDay, YearMonth, ZoneOffset, and ChronoLocalDateImpl to use DecimalDigits.appendPair for formatting two-digit numbers. This provides a more efficient and consistent way to format these values.
   
   Also added a comment in ChronoLocalDateImpl.toString() to explain why get() is used instead of getLong() for performance reasons, as the values are guaranteed to be within the int range for all chronologies.

 - Optimize year formatting in DateTimeHelper by reducing modulo operation

   Refactored the year formatting logic to use subtraction instead of modulo for calculating the lower two digits, which can be slightly more efficient. Added a comment to clarify the safety of the input range for DecimalDigits.appendPair.
