Summary:                    Language handling for numbers, dates, etc is
misbehaving when utilizing sub-regional languages
Description: 
Per a discussion at Asterisk Euro DevCon, an issue was raised when a
language is defined as "language_variant" format, for example, "fr_ca"
(Candian French). 

According to KPF and russelb, Asterisk is supposed to play files from the
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/[LANG_DIRECTORY] and
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits/[LANG_DIRECTORY], while at the same time,
while playing the numbers, utilizing the logic intended for the "language"
identified. However, after testing the edge case, we've discovered that
Asterisk will default to the English grammer, thus, playing the entire
grammer wrong.

No need for extra sound files to reproduce this. When verbose enough,
Asterisk will show us what it wants to play.

As we can see, for the language 'he', 201 is:

  200
  1

This is because Hebrew has a word for 200 (??????).

For the language 'he_jr, however, we get:

  2
  houndred
  1

which is from the original English saynumber function.
