Make it possible to handle translation contexts

[Stephane Raimbault]

The file utils/date.py contains the following strings:
MONTHS = {

1:_('January'), 2:_('February'), 3:_('March'), 4:_('April'), 5:_('May'), 6:_('June'),
7:_('July'), 8:_('August'), 9:_('September'), 10:_('October'), 11:_('November'),
12:_('December')

}

MONTHS_AP = { # month names in Associated Press style

1:_('Jan.'), 2:_('Feb.'), 3:_('March'), 4:_('April'), 5:_('May'), 6:_('June'), 7:_('July'),
8:_('Aug.'), 9:_('Sept.'), 10:_('Oct.'), 11:_('Nov.'), 12:_('Dec.')

}

so there is only one string for 'July' in the PO file and it's not possible to have a contextual translation.
For example, in French, the first translation is 'Juillet' and the second one for AP is 'Juil.'.

The solution depends on ​http://bugs.python.org/issue2504

[12296] is a first step in this direction.

pgettext implementation

[Claude Paroz]

I just attached a patch to implement pgettext for Django (same patch uploaded on #11686). This would be the foundation needed to resolve this issue.

Add context to MONTHS_AP dict strings

[Claude Paroz]

Note that Catalan translations will have to be updated after the MONTHS_AP patch so as regressiontests.i18n.tests.FormattingTests still pass successfully.

(In [14450]) Fixed #9988 -- Added support for translation contexts. Thanks, Claude Paroz.

(In [14899]) Fixed #14570 -- Added new date format character for alternative month names using the new context capabilities. Also add context to Associated Press style month names (refs #9988). Thanks to Claude and shell_dweller.

[Claude Paroz]

I'm reopening the ticket, because the latest patch which fixes the main issue of the original ticket is still not committed.

[Jannis Leidel]

(In [15280]) Fixed #9988 (again) -- Updated list of Associated Press months names to use a translation context. Thanks, Claude Paroz.
