manual: Touch up documentation for strftime and ALTMON_* constants. 

"%OB" is considered a conversion specifier ("B" is the format
specifier), and the list of format specifiers for months in the
description of the optional "O" modifier was incomplete.  A
cross-reference from the ALTMON_* constants to the strftime section
is also provided.  Lastly, some grammatical fixes (commas) are made
and paragraphs refactored (rewrapped).

	* manual/locale.texi (ALTMON_1, ALTMON_2, ALTMON_3, ALTMON_4,
	ALTMON_5, ALTMON_6, ALTMON_7, ALTMON_8, ALTMON_9, ALTMON_10,
	ALTMON_11, ALTMON_12): Improve documentation.
	* manual/time.texi (strftime): Likewise.

Similar to @code{MON_1}, etc.,@: but here the month names are in the
grammatical form used when the month is named by itself. The
@code{strftime} functions use these month names for the conversion
specifier @code{%OB} (@pxref{Formatting Calendar Time}).
Note that not all languages need two different forms of the month names,
so the strings returned for @code{MON_@dots{}} and @code{ALTMON_@dots{}}
may or may not be the same, depending on the locale.
@strong{NB:} @code{ABALTMON_@dots{}} constants corresponding to the
@code{%Ob} conversion specifier are not currently provided, but are
expected to be in a future release. In the meantime, it is possible
to use @code{_NL_ABALTMON_@dots{}}.
