[Bug libc/4773] New: strptime()'s '%b' descriptor should be greedy

["inkerman42 at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

strptime()'s '%b'/'%B'/'%h' field descriptor should use greedy matching.
Currently, it uses first fit, which causes strptime() to misparse months in, at
least, Polish and Vietnamese locale, e.g.:

* 'VIII' (August) is incorrectly matched as 'V' (May).
* 'Tháng mư�i m�t' (November) is incorrectly matched as 'Tháng mư�i' (October).
