French Canadian locale formats times incorrectly

[Anderson, Chris]

The fr_CA locale uses the format string H\xa0h\xa0i as its time format and as the time portion of its datetime formats. The comments indicate this should be producing output like 13 h 40 however, because h is the flag for 12-hour time, this instead gets formatted like 13 01 40. The format strings should be updated to escape the h character.

Thank you @Chris-Anderson_JLLT, I managed to reproduce using:

import django
from django.utils import timezone, translation, formats
from datetime import time
django.setup()
translation.activate('fr-ca')
print("Formatted time:", formats.time_format(time(13, 40)))

Which shows:

Formatted time: 13 01 40

fr_CA format was added in #34784.
