Please review for JDK 9 only. To aid the modularization effort, the configuration of the Hijrah calendar should move the Hijrah calendar data to a resource.
At this point, it does not look like there will be other Hijrah calendar variants; the function of calendar.properties to configure variants is unnecessary and is proposed to be removed. Since the other uses of calendars.properties have been eliminated the calendars.properties is removed.
