<i18n dev> Short month name values for ru locale

[naoto.sato at oracle.com]

Hi Gennady,

I must've overlooked your original question. As to the Russian 
abbreviated month names, they all come from CLDR. For example, CLDR's 
abbreviated formatting month name for October in Russian is "окт." as in 
(look for "·ru·" in that chart):

http://unicode.org/cldr/charts/36/by_type/date_&_time.gregorian.html#5bea9c642ffb717

So, even if there is no dot involved in the pattern, formatted text 
should have dot as a Russian localized text.

As to th 2020/2021 difference, that comes from the fact that the pattern 
uses "YYYY" instead of "yyyy", where "Y" designates the week-based-year, 
where the first week should satisfy minimum number of days. In this case 
12/31 belongs to the next week-based-year, thus 2021 is printed as week 
based year.
