   1. Since Java 9, `SimpleDateFormat` compiles a month-only pattern with 
`forceStandaloneForm` (JDK-8114833) and formats the text month of `MMM`/`MMMM` 
with the standalone month names.
   2. `FastDatePrinter` always takes the `M` text month from 
`DateFormatSymbols`, the format form, so the two disagree wherever the 
grammatical forms differ.
   3. `parsePattern` now uses the standalone tables already used by the `L` 
rules when the month is the pattern's only field, mirroring the 
`SimpleDateFormat` rule, on Java 9 and later; patterns with any other field, 
`L` patterns and Java 8 are unchanged.
   
   Repro: `FastDateFormat.getInstance("MMMM", TimeZones.GMT, new 
Locale("ru")).format(date)` for 2024-02-10.
   Expected (what `SimpleDateFormat` returns): `февраль` (nominative).
   Actual: `февраля` (genitive, "of February"). `ru`, `uk`, `be`, `pl`, `cs`, 
`sk`, `hr`, `lt`, `fi`, `ca` and `el` differ for `MMMM`; `de` and `fi` also 
differ for `MMM` abbreviations.
   
   Verified with a differential against `SimpleDateFormat` over 13320 
pattern/locale/month cases including quoted literals and multi-field controls: 
mismatches before, 0 after, plus 1776 round trips through `parse`, which 
already accepts both forms because `FastDateParser` reads names with 
`Calendar.ALL_STYLES`. The new test fails before the runtime change (`de_DE MMM 
expected: <Jan> but was: <Jan.>`) and passes after.

   - [x] Read the [ASF Generative Tooling 
Guidance](https://www.apache.org/legal/generative-tooling.html) if you use 
Artificial Intelligence (AI).
   - [x] I used AI to create any part of, or all of, this pull request. Which 
AI tool was used to create this pull request, and to what extent did it 
contribute? Claude Code was used to find the divergence and draft the fix and 
test; the result was reviewed, and the build and tests were run locally.
   - [x] Run a successful build using the default 
[Maven](https://maven.apache.org/) goal with `mvn`; that's `mvn` on the command 
line by itself.
   - [x] Write unit tests that match behavioral changes, where the tests fail 
if the changes to the runtime are not applied. This may not always be possible, 
but it is a best practice.
   - [x] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand 
what the pull request does, how, and why.
   - [x] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line 
and body. Note that a maintainer may squash commits during the merge process.
