    🐛 Bug Fixes

    🔧 Correctly validates locales that are not pre-compiled into a backend. At compile time, all configured locales are generated from the CLDR data. However not all valid locales can be predefined - especially those that have variants, subtags or extensions or use a different casing to the canonical form.

    🚀 For example, the following would fail in prior releases even though it is perfectly valid since language tags are defined to be case insensitive:

    iex> MyApp.Cldr.validate_locale "en-au"
{:error, {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "The locale \"en-au\" is not known."}}

    🚀 Similarly, it is expected that both the POSIX and IEEE formats of a language tag are acceptable, meaning that a - or _ should be acceptable. Again, in prior releases this would result in an error:

    iex> MyApp.Cldr.validate_locale "en_AU"
{:error, {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "The locale \"en_AU\" is not known."}}

    Lastly, when using locale extensions, subtags or variants the validation would fail:

    MyApp.Cldr.validate_locale "en-u-ca-buddhist"
{:error, {Cldr.UnknownLocaleError, "The locale \"en_AU\" is not known."}}

    Each of these examples now correctly validates:

    iex> TestBackend.Cldr.validate_locale "en-au"
{:ok,
 %Cldr.LanguageTag{
   canonical_locale_name: "en-Latn-AU",
   cldr_locale_name: "en-AU",
   extensions: %{},
   gettext_locale_name: "en",
   language: "en",
   language_subtags: [],
   language_variant: nil,
   locale: %{},
   private_use: [],
   rbnf_locale_name: "en",
   requested_locale_name: "en-AU",
   script: "Latn",
   territory: "AU",
   transform: %{}
 }}
iex> TestBackend.Cldr.validate_locale "en_au"
{:ok,
 %Cldr.LanguageTag{
   canonical_locale_name: "en-Latn-AU",
   cldr_locale_name: "en-AU",
   extensions: %{},
   gettext_locale_name: "en",
   language: "en",
   language_subtags: [],
   language_variant: nil,
   locale: %{},
   private_use: [],
   rbnf_locale_name: "en",
   requested_locale_name: "en-AU",
   script: "Latn",
   territory: "AU",
   transform: %{}
 }}
iex> TestBackend.Cldr.validate_locale "en-u-ca-buddhist"
{:ok,
  %Cldr.LanguageTag{
    canonical_locale_name: "en-Latn-US",
    cldr_locale_name: "en",
