cldr-json should use bcp47 for filenames (en_US_POSIX)

Description

Related to the discussion around https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-14487#icft=CLDR-14487:

cldr-json outputs for example:

  • `cldr-json/cldr-dates-full/main/ca-ES-VALENCIA`

  • `cldr-json/cldr-dates-full/main/en-US-POSIX`

Valencia is OK because it's a registered bcp47 variant, however en-US-POSIX is problematic here. Perhaps it should be `en-US-u-va-posix`, but see discussion at the linked issue.

I don’t think we need to omit POSIX from data, the rule I followed was: exclude locale(s) which require variants for their filename which would only be en-US-u-va-posix (there’s a command line switch for this)

Doing a textual search in the CLDR JSON release, I find the POSIX variant in cldr-localenames, such as:

"PINYIN": "i-Pinyin Romanization", "POLYTON": "i-Polytonic", "POSIX": "Ikhompyutha", "PROVENC": "i-PROVENC", "PUTER": "i-PUTER",

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr-json/blob/f5d111e8fa46cdd77418c29ae3b084a64a9b3db4/cldr-json/cldr-localenames-full/main/zu/variants.json#L88

Meanwhile, en has the following data but not any other languages:

"va": { "posix": "POSIX Compliant Locale" }

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr-json/blob/f5d111e8fa46cdd77418c29ae3b084a64a9b3db4/cldr-json/cldr-localenames-full/main/en/localeDisplayNames.json#L374

Probably okay but just pointing it out.

I will review this when I pull CLDR 40 JSON into ICU4X, which is tracked by https://github.com/unicode-org/icu4x/issues/1187

grammaticalFeatures.json currently generates a root locale rather than the BCP47 und locale name. I believe this is also expected to be BCP47?
