New issue 24438 by [email protected]: Set the ICU default locale to ll_RR  
even if Chrome supports only ll
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24438

This will be more prominent on Linux than on Windows.

Let's say Chrome is launched with

LANGUAGE=ar_EG  chrome

Currently, we map ar_EG to Chrome's locale ar, which is perfectly fine
because we just have 'ar' (rather than many regional variants in Chrome).
However, in the process, we set the ICU locale to ar as well even though
ICU does have ar_EG distinct from ar.

In practice, in most cases, it's immaterial. However, in some cases, it
does make a difference (e.g. thousand separator in some Spanish-speaking
Latin American countries is ',' while in other countries it's '.' or ' ').
So, es_FOO and es_BAR have to be used when setting the ICU default locale
while both being mapped to es-419 (Chrome's UI language).
