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.
This is a minimal cherry pick of just the required locale changes.
