core-locale: locale-aware date formatting (currentLocale, localizedDateFormatter)

Both functions lived in Calendula's ui/common/LocaleSupport.kt. Neither is
calendar-specific — "lay this date out the way this language writes dates" is
family plumbing — so they move here, where Agendula can reach them too.

localizedDateFormatter(locale, skeleton) takes a field list ("LLLLy", "dMMMy")
and lets the locale arrange it, which is the only way to render a date correctly
in a language you didn't hand-write a template for. Dropping a field from the
skeleton drops it from the output, so callers ask for "no year" by omitting it
rather than post-processing a longer pattern.

currentLocale() reads the display locale from LocalConfiguration. This module's
own AppLanguage.apply() changes the language inside a running process, so a
locale captured once goes stale; keying on the configuration makes the UI follow
the switch.

core-locale gains Compose (runtime + ui only) for currentLocale(). Its build file
previously declared itself Compose-free, but the alternative — parking the hook
in a Compose module that depends back on this one — splits one concern across two
modules to honour a comment. core-crash is the precedent for a core-* module
carrying Compose.

Leaves core-time's Instant.formatDate() family alone despite the overlap: it is
unused by Calendula but visible to Agendula, so reconciling it is that app's
call, not a drive-by here. Noted in the changelog.

/**
* A [DateTimeFormatter] for [skeleton]'s fields laid out in [locale]'s own order,
* via Android's best-pattern matching.
*
* A skeleton lists the *fields* you want, not their arrangement: "dMMMy" asks for
* day, abbreviated month and year, and the locale decides that en-US renders
* "Jul 17, 2026" while de-DE renders "17. Juli 2026". Hand-rolled templates like
* `"$day. $month $year"` can't do this — they bake one locale's order (and its
* separators, and its ordinal dot) into every language the app ships.
*
* Drop a field to drop it from the output: "dMMM" is the same date without the
* year, still in the locale's order. Prefer that over post-processing a longer
* pattern, which cannot know which separators belonged to the removed field.
*
* Common skeletons: "LLLLy" (standalone month + year), "dMMMy" (day, month, year),
* "EEEdMMM" (weekday too). [locale] should come from [currentLocale] in Compose,
* so formatting follows an in-process language change.
*
* NB: this delegates to `android.text.format.DateFormat`, so it needs a real
* Android runtime — under unit tests with `isReturnDefaultValues` it yields no
* pattern. Test the skeleton *choice* in your own code; the layout itself is ICU's
* job and is not worth mocking.
