tdf#115007 add NatNum12 help and ask translators for extending

language support in number and date formatting by extending
the newly integrated libnumbertext (http://www.numbertext.org)
and default date formats of LibreOffice:

Translators: (1) please, modify the list of NatNum12 functions
according to libnumbertext language support of your language.
Other arguments could be ordinal-feminine, ordinal-masculine,
ordinal-neuter, formal, article, etc. To show the available
NatNum12 arguments of your language, open
https://numbertext.github.io/#testimonials in a browser, and
select "Functions (help)" in the pop-up menu.

As you can see in the examples for NatNum12 date formats
and in the extended en_US.xml and hu_HU.xml locale data files, it's
possible to support also special number formatting needs of your
language, including spelling out numbers, money amounts and dates
with automatic selection of prepositions [like Catalan "de" or "d'"
before month names], articles [Hungarian "a" or "az"] and suffixes
[in Hungarian or likely Estonian, Finnish, Turkish etc. languages:
"in", "from", "to" etc. suffixes of day and month names], check
http://numbertext.org or write your questions on LibreOffice l10n
mailing list.

 <paragraph id="par_id3154600" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">The [NatNum1] modifier always uses a one to one character mapping to convert numbers to a string that matches the native number format code of the corresponding locale. The other modifiers produce different results if they are used with different locales. A locale can be the language and the territory for which the format code is defined, or a modifier such as [$-yyy] that follows the native number modifier. In this case, yyy is the hexadecimal MS-LCID that is also used in currency format codes. For example, to display a number using Japanese short Kanji characters in an English US locale, use the following number format code:</paragraph>

If you want, you can use a [DBNumX] modifier instead of [NatNum] modifier for your locale. Whenever possible, <item type="productname">%PRODUCTNAME</item> internally maps [DBNumX] modifiers to [NatNumN] modifiers.</paragraph>
