sort: test against all month formats in month-sort

The CLDR specification [1] defines three possible month formats:

- Abbreviation (e.g Jan, Ιαν)
- Full (e.g January, Ιανουαρίου)
- Standalone (e.g

sort: test against all month formats in month-sort

The CLDR specification [1] defines three possible month formats:

- Abbreviation (e.g Jan, Ιαν)
- Full (e.g January, Ιανουαρίου)
- Standalone (e.g January, Ιανουάριος)

Many languages use different case endings depending on whether the month
is referenced as a standalone word (nominative case), or in date context
(genitive, partitive, etc.). sort(1)'s -M option currently sorts months
by testing input against only the abbrevation format, which is
essentially a substring of the full format. While this works fine for
languages like English, where there are no cases, for languages where
there is a different case ending between the abbreviation/full and
standalone formats, it is not sufficient.

For example, in Greek, "May" can take the following forms:

Abbreviation: Μαΐ (genitive case)
Full: Μαΐου (genitive case)
Standalone: Μάιος (nominative case)

If we use the standalone format in Greek, sort(1) will not able to match
"Μαΐ" to "Μάιος" and the sort will fail.

This change makes sort(1) test against all three formats. It also works
when the input contains mixed formats.

sort(1): Add bits to allow easy checking against NetBSD tests

I'm looking at sort(1) failures, for better or worse.
