table of tables that hold pattern and other information used to extract date parts for translation and reconstrution

Tables have the form:
	[1] - pattern for a particular date format; must include captures for the requiste date components:
			day, month, year which ever are included in the date format
	[2] - a letter 'd', 'm', or 'y' that identified the content of the first (left-most) capture
	[3] - same as [2] for the second capture
	[4] - same as [2] for the last (right-most) capture

ymd numeric dates have no hames so are not translated; use |df= parameter in the cs1|2 template for that.

creates a translation table of non-English month names listed in lang{} mapped to English month names listed in
<en_months_t> (which this function also fills).

lang_obj:formatDate() must be given a day in addition to <en_month> else it will use the current day so, if today
is 31 August 2021, without the expicit '1' preceding the month from <en_month>, when creating a translation for
February, April, June, September, or October lang_obj:formatDate() will return the 'next' month.

To dump this table: =mw.dumpObject (p.month_names_t)
