<i18n dev> [9] RFR: 8048123: Replace calendars.properties with another mechanism to specify a new Japanese calendar era

[Masayoshi Okutsu]

Revised the webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~okutsu/9/8048123/webrev.01

The changes from the previous one are:
- Changed <pre><code> (originally <pre><tt>) to <pre>{@code
- Replaced StringTokenizer with String.split()
- Eliminated RuntimeException

Thanks,
Masayoshi
