Log:
  Fix short month names and replace %b with %_m in date_fmt for Chinese
  locales.

  When using a Chinese locale, such as zh_TW.UTF-8 or zh_CN.UTF-8,
  nl_langinfo(ABMON_*) only returned numbers.  For instance,
  nl_langinfo(ABMON_1) returns 1, nl_langinfo(ABMON_2) returns 2, and
  so on.

  This causes problems in applications that put the short month name
  and the day of the month together.  For example, 'Apr 14' in English
  becomes '414?' in Chinese on the top bar of GNOME Shell.

  This problem may be resolved by appending '?' to all short month
  names and replacing %b with %_m in date_fmt. ja_JP.UTF-8 already
  does this, and this matches the en_US.ISO8859-1 behavior, which
  returns 'Oct'.  The GNU C Library also returns values with '?'
  appended.
