<i18n dev> [9] RFR: 8061382: Separate CLDR locale data from JRE locale data

[Naoto Sato]

Thanks for the naming suggestion, Alan. I will use "classic" then.

I also think we should introduce "CLASSIC" as a property name for the 
java.locale.providers system property which should be an alias to "JRE", 
this requires a CCC though.
