[loc-en-dev] Backward compatibility problem in LocaleNameProvider

Hi all,

I realized that java.util.spi.LocaleNameProvider#getDisplayScript was 
added as an abstract method. I thought I could not make it abstract, but 
obviously I forgot about it. For now, because of this, existing 
LocaleNameProvider implementations cause compilation failure (because of 
lack of getDisplayScript. We should remove the keyword "abstract" and 
provide the default implementation (return null) to fix the backward 
compatibility problem.
