Add support for currency amounts, including functions for retrieving currency symbol and currency code for the current locale and the possibility to format such amounts according to the locale rules. Allow retrieving more information about numeric values formatting, for both numbers and currency amounts, including grouping information when group separator is used and number of digits after decimal separator and also use them when formatting numbers. Finally add function to retrieve the measurement system (metric or imperial) used by the current locale. See #1781. Closes #25765.
