FYI: RH712013: pdftk crashes with java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

[Andrew Hughes-7]

I've just committed what is the first part of a larger fix for:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712013

As explained in the bug report, this massively reduces the amount of
incorrect locale data (and avoids the exception), but there are still
some errors.  Fixing this requires changing the locale data, which
I'll do in a series of separate patches.

        RH712013: pdftk crashes with java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
        * java/text/DateFormatSymbols.java:
        (getStringArray(List<ResourceBundle>, String, int)):
        Calls getStringArray(list,string,int,null).
        (getStringArray(List<ResourceBundle>, String, int, String[])):
        Populate a String array with locale data.  The data
        used is the first non-null non-empty element found
        as we traverse the locale hierarchy. May be supplemented
        by fallback data.
        (DateFormatSymbols(Locale)): Get a list of all bundles up the
        locale hierarchy, rather than just using the one specific locale.
        Use the improved getStringArray method to populate the arrays,
        supplying existing data where "sideways" inheritance takes place.
