In order to support adding locales during compile-time
inlining of translations (i.e. after the TS build has completed),
we need to be able to attach the locale to the global scope.
This commit modifies CLDR extraction to emit additional "global"
locale files that appear in the `@angular/common/locales/global` folder.
These files are of the form:
```
(function() {
const root = typeof globalThis !== 'undefined' && globalThis ||
typeof global !== 'undefined' && global || typeof window !== 'undefined' && window;
root.ng = root.ng || {};
root.ng.common = root.ng.common || {};
root.ng.common.locale = root.ng.common.locale || {};
const u = undefined;
function plural(n) {
if (n === 1) return 1;
return 5;
}
root.ng.common.locale['xx-yy'] = [...];
})();
```
The IIFE will ensure that `ng.common.locale` exists and attach the
given locale (and its "extras") to it using it "normalized" locale
name.
* "extras": in the UMD module locale files the "extra" locale data,
currently the day period rules, and extended day period data, are
stored in separate files under the "common/locales/extra" folder.
* "normalized": Angular references locales using a normalized form,
which is lower case with `_` replaced by `-`. For example:
`en_UK` => `en-uk`.

Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).
