* ICU data size reduced by about 7.2% (1.8MB) via sharing string values across resource bundles.
* DateIntervalFormat now handles intervals with seconds, and sets FieldPosition more consistently.
* DateFormat::createInstanceForSkeleton() caches DateFormat patterns rather than DateTimePatternGenerator instances, for better performance (for cache hits) and lower heap memory consumption.
