[issue6456] locale.D_* and .T_* are int, not string

[dauerbaustelle]

New submission from dauerbaustelle <jonas at lophus.org>:

The locale.D_* and locale.T_* attributes are ints with weird values
instead of strings (see documentation[1]).

Example:


>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.utf8')
'en_US.utf8'
>>> locale.D_T_FMT
131112
>>> locale.D_FMT
131113
>>> locale.T_FMT
131114
>>> locale.T_FMT_AMPM
131115

It seems like the .DAY_* stuff is also broken:
>>> locale.DAY_1
131079
>>> locale.DAY_2
131080
>>> locale.DAY_7
131085

And many other variables:
>>> locale.THOUSEP
65537

The documentation says that every of these variables should be strings.
