[Bug localedata/1015] New: There is a need for an alternative belarusian locale


I am listed as a contributor for the be_BY locale

We had a heated discussion almost 1 year ago on the belarusian i18n mailing list
<i18n@mova.org> around belarusian locales.

Many belarusian translators for FOSS software are on the list and we invited
Bruno Haible to help us on the topic.

Upon the discussion results, I suggest introducing a new locale named
be_BY@classic for the Belarusian classic writing which is the only productive
(in the linguistic sense) writing in Belarus nowadays.

This matches the advice of Bruno. Whoever will commit this change should contact
him if more details are required. Petter Reinholdtsen has also been included in
the dicussion but fell off pretty quickily.

Below comes the contents of the locale definition:
