Please review this PR and [CSR](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8319344)
which adds MessageFormat pattern support for the following subformats:
ListFormat, CompactNumberFormat, and DateTimeFormatter. This change is intended
to provide pattern support for the more recently added JDK Format subclasses,
as well as improving java.time formatting within i18n. The draft javadoc can be
viewed here:
https://cr.openjdk.org/~jlu/docs/api/java.base/java/text/MessageFormat.html.
Please see the CSR for more in-depth behavioral changes, as well as limitations.
The `FormatTypes`: dtf_date, dtf_time, dtf_datetime, pre-defined
DateTimeFormatter(s), and list are added.
The `FormatStyles`: compact_short, compact_long, or, and unit are added.
For example, previously,
Object[] args = {LocalDate.of(2023, 11, 16), LocalDate.of(2023, 11, 27)};
MessageFormat.format("It was {0,date,full}, now it is {1,date,full}", args);
would throw `Exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot format given
Object as a Date`
Now, a user can call
MessageFormat.format("It was {0,dtf_date,full}, now it is {1,dtf_date,full}",
args);
which returns "It was Thursday, November 16, 2023, now it is Friday, November
17, 2023"
