[threeten-dev] Add standalone text styles

[Masayoshi Okutsu]

Here are my comments.

- LDML (UTS#35) calls non-stand-alone styles format styles (forms) 
rather than normal styles. I prefer to follow the LDML naming.

- I suspect that it's hard for most developers to understand the 
differences between the "normal" and stand-alone constants from the 
descriptions. The examples are the same ones, like "Monday".

- It happens to work if you use DateFormat styles as an index to the 
time zone names array. But it's not correct to use DateFormat styles.

- TBD part: Calendar defines both format and standalone styles to which 
the TextStyles need to map.

If you add the standalone constants to TextStyle, I can take care of the 
rest.
