The calendar module displays month names in some locales using the genitive case.
This is grammatically incorrect, as the nominative case should be used when the month
is named by itself. To address this issue, this change introduces new lists
`standalone_month_name` and `standalone_month_abbr` that contain month names in
the nominative case -- or more generally, in the form that should be used to
name the month itself, rather than form a date.
The module now uses the `%OB` format specifier to get month names in this form
where available.
It can now have one of three forms:
* basename(argv0) -- for simple scripts
* python arv0 -- for directories, ZIP files, etc
* python -m module -- for imported modules

There are 3 paths to use `locale` argument in
`calendar.Locale{Text|HTML}Calendar.__init__(..., locale=None)`:
(1) `locale=None` -- denotes the "default locale"[1]
(2) `locale=""` -- denotes the native environment
(3) `locale=other_valid_locale` -- denotes a custom locale
So far case (2) is covered and case (1) is in 78935daf5a (same branch).
This commit adds a remaining case (3).
[1] In the current implementation, this translates into the following
approach:
GET current locale
IF current locale == "C" THEN
SET current locale TO ""
GET current locale
ENDIF
* Remove unreachable code (and increase test coverage)
This condition cannot be true. `_locale.setlocale()` from the C module
raises `locale.Error` instead of returning `None` for
`different_locale.__enter__` (where `self.oldlocale` is set).
* Expand the try clause to calls to `LocaleTextCalendar.formatmonthname()`.
This method temporarily changes the current locale to the given locale,
so `_locale.setlocale()` may raise `local.Error`.

The calendar.LocaleTextCalendar and calendar.LocaleHTMLCalendar
classes module now use locale.getlocale(), instead of using
locale.getdefaultlocale(), if no locale is specified.
Refactor formatweekday(), formatmonthname() methods in LocaleHTMLCalendar and LocaleTextCalendar classes in calendar module to call the base class methods. This enables customizable CSS classes for LocaleHTMLCalendar and LocaleTextCalendar.
Patch by Srinivas Reddy Thatiparthy
Calendar.itermonthdates() will now consistently raise an exception when a date falls outside of the 0001-01-01 through 9999-12-31 range. To support applications that cannot tolerate such exceptions, the new methods itermonthdays3() and itermonthdays4() are added. The new methods return tuples and are not restricted by the range supported by datetime.date.
Thanks @serhiy-storchaka for suggesting the itermonthdays4() method and for the review.
Several class attributes have been added to calendar.HTMLCalendar that allow customization of the CSS classes used in the resulting HTML. This can be done by subclasses HTMLCalendar and overwriting those class attributes (Patch by Oz Tiram).
