strftime: Pass the additional flags from "%EY" to "%Ey" [BZ #24096]
The full representation of the alternative calendar year (%EY)
typically includes an internal use of "%Ey".  As a GNU extension,
apply any flags on "%EY" (e.g. "%_EY", "%-EY") to the internal "%Ey",
allowing users of "%EY" to control how the year is padded.

ChangeLog:

	[BZ #24096]
	* manual/time.texi (strftime): Document "%EC" and "%EY".
	* time/Makefile (tests): Add tst-strftime2.
	(LOCALES): Add ja_JP.UTF-8, lo_LA.UTF-8, and th_TH.UTF-8.
	* time/strftime_l.c (__strftime_internal): Add argument yr_spec to
	override padding for "%Ey".
	If an optional flag ('_' or '-') is specified to "%EY", interpret the
	"%Ey" in the subformat as if decorated with that flag.
	* time/tst-strftime2.c: New file.
