[Bug localedata/9730] sv_FI time format does not match fi_FI

corrects first day and format of d_t_fmt in sv_FI

There are two errors in sv_FI

Error 1:

First day of week should be monday in sv_FI, just like it is in fi_FI and
sv_SE. See SFS-EN 28601, which is Finnish version of ISO 8601 and it says that
monday is first day of the week. For reference, Sweden has SS-EN 28601, which
is the same standard.

Error 2:

This is probably a copy/paste error from fi_FI into sv_FI: The format of
d_t_fmt is wrong in sv_FI. Currently it is %a %e. %Bta %Y %H.%M.%S, even though
it should be %a %e. %B %Y %H.%M.%S, without the 'ta' after %B. Including 'ta'
after %B is grammatically correct in Finnish, but is entirely wrong and looks
ridiculous in Swedish. It makes months appear as e.g. 'Januarita', which is
nonsense in Swedish. 'Januari' without 'ta' is the correct format in Swedish.

patch for sv_FI attached that corrects these two errors
