Add Hunsrik locale support (hrx, hrx_BR)

This patch adds support for the Hunsrik locale (hrx) and the Hunsrik locale for Brazil (hrx_BR) to glibc.

This patch series adds support for the Hunsrik language (hrx) and the Hunsrik locale for Brazil (hrx_BR) to glibc. The changes include defining Hunsrik in iso-639.def and adding the hrx_BR locale data. This is version 6 of the patch, which fixes a date format escape character and drops the first_weekday setting.

Technical Tradeoffs

  • Requires adding new data files to glibc.
  • Needs to ensure correct locale data and formatting.
  • May increase the size of glibc.
