[Bug localedata/3156] New: LC_TIME for pl_PL doesn't match standard usage

Currently, glibc displays dates in the pl_PL locale as:
pon sie 6 01:23:45 CEST 1984
This format violates several conventions for date abbreviations in the Polish
language. I include a patch against the current CVS localedata with the
following changes:
* non-standard weekday abbreviations are replaced with standard ones
* non-standard month abbreviations are replaced with standard ones (based on
Roman numerals)
* middle-endian format (never used in Poland) is replaced with the little-endian
one (by far the most popular)
* standard padding is introduced, i.e. h:m:s are zero-padded, day of the month
is not padded
* fields are properly separated
With the patch, dates are displayed as:
Pn, 6 VIII 1984, 01:23:45 CEST
which matches the most common usage.
Please notice that the abbreviations are no longer fixed-width. Since this is
also the case in several other locales, I suppose it is not a problem.
