[COMMITTED] 2.22: Bug 18589: Fix strcoll_l incorrect sorting.


I've backported the fix for bug 18589 to 2.22, which is
the only public release with the defect that causes strcoll_l
to incorrectly sort digraphs.

Those of you with distributions based on 2.22 may wish to rebase
to get these changes. They will cause problems with sorting and
are relatively serious.

    Fix typo in bug-strcoll2 (Bug 18589)
    
    Fix the copyright year and remove contributed by in the
    bug-strcoll2 test. In addition add the correct dependency
    on $(gen-locales) to ensure all the test locales are generated.

    Let 'make check subdirs=string' succeed even when it's invoked
    immediately after glibc has been built and before 'make check'
    (or after 'make clean').

    strcoll: Remove incorrect STRDIFF-based optimization (Bug 18589).
    
    The optimization introduced in commit
    f13c2a8dff2329c6692a80176262ceaaf8a6f74e, causes regressions in
    sorting for languages that have digraphs that change sort order, like
    cs_CZ which sorts ch between h and i.
    
    My analysis shows the fast-forwarding optimization in STRCOLL advances
    through a digraph while possibly stopping in the middle which results
    in a subsequent skipping of the digraph and incorrect sorting. The
    optimization is incorrect as implemented and because of that I'm
    removing it for 2.23, and I will also commit this fix for 2.22 where
    it was originally introduced.
    
    This patch reverts the optimization, introduces a new bug-strcoll2.c
    regression test that tests both cs_CZ.UTF-8 and da_DK.ISO-8859-1 and
    ensures they sort one digraph each correctly. The optimization can't be
    applied without regressing this test.
    
    Checked on x86_64, bug-strcoll2.c fails without this patch and passes
    after. This will also get a fix on 2.22 which has the same bug.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 87701a58e291bd7ac3b407d10a829dac52c9c16e)

Cheers,
Carlos.
