While generating locales, two sets of data (both derived from the
[CLDR project][1]) are used:
- JSON data with the [`cldrjs` package][2], which is used for most
operations.
- XML data with the [`cldr` package][3], which is used for generating
plural-related data.
The JSON data is brought in from the [unicode-org/cldr-json][4]
repository. Since we control the version of the repository that we use,
we can control the CLDR version that these correspond to.
Previously, however, we used the XML data that were bundled with the
[`cldr` package[3]. As a result, the two sets of data could correspond
to different CLDR versions, resulting in incorrect/inconsistent locales
files.
This commit addresses the problem by utilizing the `load()` method of
the [`cldr` package][3], which allows passing in a custom path to the
CLDR XML data (instead of using the bundled data. This way, we can
ensure that the data used for all operations correspond to the same CLDR
version.

Previously, some functions/targets related to the
generation/verification of the `closure-locale.ts` file included
`closure_locales` instead of `closure_locale` in their name, which was
inconsistent and confusing.
Rename all tooling to use `closure_locale` (which more closely matches
the generated file's name).

Introduces a few Starlark macros for running the new Bazel
CLDR generation tool. Wires up the new tool so that locales
are generated properly. Also updates the existing
`closure-locale` file to match the new output generated by the Bazel tool.
This commit also re-adds a few locale files that aren't
generated by CLDR 37, but have been accidentally left in
the repository as the Gulp script never removed old locales
from previous CLDR versions. This problem is solved with the
Bazel generation of locale files, but for now we re-add these
old CLDR 33 locale files to not break developers relying on these
(even though the locale data indicies are incorrect; but there might
be users accessing the data directly)
