Add convenience target 'install-locale-files'.
The convenience install target 'install-locale-files' is created
to allow distributions to install all of the SUPPORTED locales as
files instead of into the locale-archive.

You invoke the new convenience target like this:
make localedata/install-locale-files DESTDIR=<prefix>

-  [Add new features here]
+* A new convenience target has been added for distribution maintainers
+  to build and install all locales as directories with files.  The new
+  target is run by issuing the following command in your build tree:
+  'make localedata/install-locale-files', with an optional DESTDIR
+  to set the install root if you wish to install into a non-default
+  configured location.
