<i18n dev> [15] RFR: 8187987: Add a mechanism to configure custom variants in HijrahChronology

[Joe Wang]

Hi Naoto,

Since it's dealing with non-standard properties files, is there a need 
to verify the files? The constructor (HijrahChronology) does check 
whether the id or type is empty. If there is no existing process to 
validate, it's probably not worth it to spend time as it's rare and it's 
config time.

The test summary states "Test image creation", it may be better to say 
sth. like verifies custom configuration?

Best,
Joe
