D25449: Start of the new Formats KCM

[Nathaniel Graham]

  More generally, I'm not sure the interaction model of the Detailed Settings part of this KCM (both old and new) makes any sense. Once I choose my global locale, if I want to override individual elements, I want to choose the exact format I want, which I currently can't do.
  
  For example, if I want to change to 24-hour time, my expectation is that I could have the option to override the time to 12 hour or 24-hour directly. Instead I see the same old list of all locales, and I have to guess which locale has 24-hour time by default. Does Botswana have 24-hour time? How about Chile? Maybe Australia? Who knows? If I want to change the number format, I want to actually directly manipulate the format itself, not choose a different locale where again I have no idea what format they use in that locale.
  
  I think if we want to make a major UX improvement to this KCM, we should consider allowing users to directly choose the formats they want in the Detailed Settings section.
