The implementation has started returning invalid values for the `AM_PM` field after the "day period" support was added recently in the JDK as part of https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8262108.

Looking at that test case, IMO, the current testing in that `NarrowNamesTest` is incorrect and is probably what hid this issue in the first place? To fix this, I have added an additional commit which updates this test case to properly test the `AM_PM` field values.

What I meant was there is no need to check the providers and introduce the am/pm specific test method. Both `CLDR` and `COMPAT` (i.e., no "if" statement) should be tested with `testMap()` method as other tests do.
