[Bug localedata/11945] New: Month names in Russian Localization should be in lowercase


>From original bug report at https://launchpad.net/bugs/124987:

-------------------
Current date format for Russian locale is:
"Втр, 10 Июл, 00:31".

1. According to Russian writing practice, month names are not capitalized. So if
month name doesn't stay in the beginning of the sentence, its first letter
should not be capital (for example: "10 июля" or "10 июл" for abbreviation).

2. 3 letter abbreviations for weekdays are very rare in Russian. It is better to
use 2 letters (Пн, Вт, Ср, Чт, Пт, Сб, Вс).
-------------------------------

As a reference, both month names and weekday names appear on the Russian
president's site: http://www.kremlin.ru/news
