code review 7424057: go.exp/locale/cldr: Implementation of cldr package, whi...

go.exp/locale/cldr: Implementation of cldr package, which provides an API for accessing
the XML files in the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository. It implements the various
resolution mechanism, like inheritance and alias resolution.
This package is to be used by the table creation tools of the various internationalization
packages. A modified exp/locale/collate/maketables.go is included in this CL as an example.

Note that this package is partially generated. Changes to the CLDR XML standard are
expected to be backwards compatible.  This is typically the case.  However, care should
be taken that this is indeed the case when upgrading the CLDR version.

This CL also fixes several bugs in exp/locale/collate that were the result of not
handling inheritance according to the CLDR specs.

Hello r@golang.org (cc: golang-dev@googlegroups.com),

I'd like you to review this change to

Apologies for the delay reviewing this.

I find it overwhelming. Can it be broken into pieces that can be understood in
isolation?

For starters, I've sent out a new, separate CL that only includes the tool
itself for generating the XML, the generated XML itself and two files that
are needed to compile.  I'll look into breaking up the rest as well.
