The Japanese era name will be changed on May 1, 2019. The Japanese
government made a preliminary announcement on April 1, 2019.
The glibc ja_JP locale must be updated to include the new era name for
strftime's alternative year format support.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

ChangeLog:
[BZ #24293]
* time/Makefile (LOCALES): Add zh_TW.UTF-8, cmn_TW.UTF-8,
hak_TW.UTF-8, nan_TW.UTF-8, and lzh_TW.UTF-8.
* time/tst-strftime2.c (locales): Likewise.
(dates): Add 1910-04-01, 1911-12-31, 1912-01-01, 1913-04-01,
2010-04-01, and 2011-04-01.
(mkreftable): Add rules for the new locales and the new dates.
Express the years as full Gregorian years (e.g., 1988 instead of 88)
and months with natural numbers (1-12 rather than 0-11).
Compare actual dates rather than indexes when selecting the era name.
Declare the local variable era as a string character pointer rather
than an array of chars where the actual string is copied which might
lead to potential buffer overflows in future.

ChangeLog:
* time/tst-strftime2.c (date_t): Explicitly define the type.
(dates): Use natural month and year numbers to express a date.
(is_before): New function to compare dates.
(mkreftable): Minor improvements to simplify maintenance.
(do_test): Reflect the changes in dates array.
The full representation of the alternative calendar year (%EY)
typically includes an internal use of "%Ey". As a GNU extension,
apply any flags on "%EY" (e.g. "%_EY", "%-EY") to the internal "%Ey",
allowing users of "%EY" to control how the year is padded.
