[Bug localedata/664] New: rewrite of LC_COLLATE of Spanish (es_ES) locale to make it simpler

["pablo at mandrakesoft dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

the LC_COLLATE definition of the es_ES locale defined collating rules
for all and every character; making it very long and hard to grasp,
despite most of them are supposed to behave the same as in the
default "i18n" LC_COLLATE model.

I rewrote it to use the new glibc reordering possibilities
so that the LC_COLLATE simply includes "i18n" and only
redefines the collating of the only character that behaves
differently, the ntilde.

It doesn't change behaviour, it's just cosmetic;
however, by removing common things and including them
automatically, the es_ES locale will benefit of 
corrections/additions done in the collating definitions
in other areas (eg, if some fix is done in "i18n" file
for cyrillic collating, then es_ES will benefit from
it automatically).

The LC_COLLATE definition is now as short as:

LC_COLLATE
copy "iso14651_t1"
collating-symbol  <ntilde>
reorder-after <n>
<ntilde>
reorder-after <U006E>
<U00F1> <ntilde>;<TIL>;<MIN>;IGNORE
reorder-after <U004E>
<U00D1> <ntilde>;<TIL>;<CAP>;IGNORE
reorder-end
END LC_COLLATE

while previously it was more than 2,050 lines long.
