[Bug localedata/4098] New: pl_PL, Roman numbers as abbreviated month names

["stlman at poczta dot fm" <sourceware-bugzilla@sourceware.org>]

I updated my pl_PL data yesterday and I found it quite amusing ;-) that Roman
numbers have been used as abbreviated month (abmon) names. However, it looks
quite nice, there is one, I might suspect, unpredicted problem. There seem to be
a tradition that abbreviations were exactly three characters long. Some
programmes (e.g. mc) *assume* such constraint and fail to display dates
properly, especially August causes some problems (see attachment). I suggest to
revert that change back to what was in 1.18.

I am also not sure weather weekdays (abday) abbreviations should be in capital
letters but I am also not convinced that they shouldn't.
