<i18n dev> [9] Review Request - JDK-8055222: ISO 4217 Amendment #159

[Naoto Sato]

Hi Mark,

I understand that the English name for "CV" should be customary "Cape 
Verde" in English, but for the root locale, should the name adopt ISO 
3166's bare name, where they switched it from "Cape Verde" to "Cabo Verde"?
