[Bug localedata/22550] es_ES locale (and other es_* locales): collation should treat ñ as a primary different character, sync the collation for Spanish with CLDR

I agree with Mike.

I think it is way better to synchronize all the variants of the Spanish
language around an official decision taken 23 years ago, by general
international agreement, taught in schools since, and recently reasserted in
2010 when a new Panhispanic Orthography was published
(https://www.diariolibre.com/noticias/el-alfabeto-despide-letras-ch-y-ll-BNdl272715).

This would lead to treat Ñ as the only extra standalone letter in Spanish,
always sorted after N.

My local copy of es_ES (up-to-date Void Linux) has this right now:

LC_COLLATE
% Copy the template from ISO/IEC 14651
copy "iso14651_t1"
END LC_COLLATE

This, of course, is horrible. It even ignores Ñ as a standalone letter.

Please, we need to move ahead. We are late to the party by some years now.
