The backport is a prerequisite for timezone data update to 2024b. Targeting the PR to jdk8u repo (January release).

The change doesn’t apply cleanly. In JDK9, JDK-8042369 rewrote the builder classes but it’s too large to backport to 8u so I adopted 11u backport for 8u codebase. The test change applies cleanly after path reshuffling except copyright year.

Testing: jtreg tests (java/text/Format java/util/TimeZone sun/util/calendar sun/util/resources). Sanity checked that tzdata-2024b (rearguard version) fails to build (“Unknown month: April”) without the changes and builds with the changes. 

Thanks.
