<i18n dev> RFR: 8372609: Bug4944439 does not enforce locale correctly

This PR fixes a test bug where a `DecimalFormat` is instantiated in a static field (with the current default locale) before the test updates the system default to `Locale.US`. As a result, it may fail under various other locales, since a `Locale.US` configured `DecimalFormat` is not actually retrieved and the test expects one.

In general, the preservation and restoring of the system locale is an obsolete process. The test is instead updated to just retrieve a `DecimalFormat` using a locale accepting factory method.

I have manually confirmed that the tests passes with `-Duser.language=en -Duser.country=NL` on my machine, (which is the locale used in the reproducer).
