localflavor.ca.ca_provinces incorrect.

In the tuples provided in this file, Newfoundland and Labrador have an abbreviation of "NF"

This is incorrect, and is actually "NL". I am unsure if this is a recent change but that is the case according to official Canadian websites and even systems like PayPal Pro

I'd be -1 on making this change. The abbreviation in question isn't a display string: it's the value stored in the database. We haven't made any error with the human-consumable string.

The big argument against changing it is that anybody who is already using this field will now have invalid data in their database. Suddenly they will have stored NF and it won't map to any display string (and entering the same data after the change will put different data into the database).

Moving to "design decision needed"; it's not a no-brainer and it's not a functional bug at the moment.

I'm +1 on making the change. See my comments on #10456, comment 2

Closing as a dupe of #10456, since it's itnertwined with the changes over there (as per comment 6, there)
