<i18n dev> [15] RFR: 8245241: Incorrect locale provider preference is not logged

[Joe Wang]

Hi Naoto,

I don't seem to see the DateFormat class or the getDateInstance methods 
specify how errors may be handled (or logged). Is that stated somewhere 
else?  In other cases, I see that you've changed it to throw 
ServiceConfigurationError, that looks to me may be better than a log as 
a configuration error  (or specifying wrong provider) sounds to me more 
severe than info.

Of the three HostLocaleProviderAdapterImpl, the one for unix is deleted, 
is there a specific reason?

Best,
Joe
