fix(ivy): support ICUs without "other" cases (#34042)

Prior to this commit, there was a runtime check in i18n logic to make sure "other" case is always present in an ICU. That was not a requirement in View Engine, so ICUs that previously worked may produce errors. This commit removes that restriction and adds support for ICUs without "other" cases.
