Motivation: To read ICU4C *.res files natively in ICU4J and to enable 3066 locale IDs. Since the ResourceBundle API uses static final factory methods for instantiating sub-class objects, plugging in of new subclasses directly is not possible. ULocale API allows parsing and reading of ISO 3066 locale IDs. The Locale class is final and does not allow sub classing. To enable ISO 3066 locale IDs a new class which is superset of Locale class is required.
