Background information #2052193: [META] Date format localisation is a huge mess, conflicts, does not work, regressed

This is the first try to move date format translation into locale and get it consistent with the rest of the localization system. Attached screenshot of the new UI which kind of explains everything by itself, I think.

And here's the patch (that produces the UI above). In short:
- Move all date format localization to locale module.
- Create new UI that allows to translate existing date formats.
- Cleans up the configuration translations for date formats created by the old system, which had a lot of duplicated date.

To do:
- Well, discuss the new UI....
- Update tests.
- Remove language (locale) options from date format configurations

How does this compare to the Drupal 7 features? There does not seem to be an upgrade path in this code(?)

+ Needs usability review, but IMHO it looks far better than D7 UI. Congrats!

I started reviewing the patch and I have some comments.

Namespace should be Drupal\locale\Form now.

I think we shouldn't be calling theme() but returning the render array, but this is a theme_* function so I am not really sure about it. Maybe affected by #2006152: [meta] Don't call theme() directly anywhere outside drupal_render()?

I think this should still have a more holistic look and hopefully natively integrated with config translation.

AFAIS let's focus on solving this with a standard solution as part of config translation, that already manages the files, we can integrate this with locale module (localize.drupal.org distribution of translations). So I think this is covered by #2098089: Date formats cannot be translated (the core UIs are useless) and #2099997: Use config translation to translate date formats and will have a standard solution in core the same way every other config has.
