Add support for other systemic aliases specified in CLDR `root.xml`

Overview Description
#892 was caused by us not reading <alias>
es at all.
#1075 encodes the "hey, you can use short
if you can't find these time deltas" logic from root.xml
into code, which fixes that issue. There are other interesting <alias>
es in root.xml
we should support:
dates.fields.field
numbers.decimalFormats.decimalFormatLength
numbers.scientificFormats
numbers.percentFormats
numbers.currencyFormats
(especially that "if accounting isn't specified, use standard")- Units (lots of them have name fallback aliases)
- List patterns
It looks like (thankfully) there are no <alias>
es specified in specific locale files, and I don't think we need to support that.
