locales: pap_AN: delete old/deprecated locale [BZ #16003]

  From the bug:
Netherlands Antilles was dissolved, and "AN" is not a part of ISO 3166
anymore.  According to setlocale(3), "territory is an ISO 3166 country
code".  We now have pap_AW and pap_CW.

I am the committer of the split of pap_AN locale to pap_CW and pap_AW
as well as the submitter of the bug to deprecate pap_AN after two
release cycles because AN has been deprecated in ISO-3166 in favor of
more-specific codes like AW and CW.

I am still a technical contact for an active Papiamento L10n community
and currently working with them on moving towards LibreOffice L10n
(and exploring whether filing a CLDR locale is needed/desirable).

I have reached out to them to make sure there are no concerns with the
necessary and orderly migration/deprecation steps in glibc, but I do
not anticipate any problems on their part, although we may lightly
tweak the pap glibc locales for the next release.

+1 for closing this ticket by committing the patch to delete pap_AN.
It will be survived by it's children, pap_AW and pap_CW.

i would strongly push for getting into CLDR.  there are many projects
out there that utilize that db in order to provide localization.  i
know Google uses it heavily internally as well.  i'm trying to update
glibc to use it as a source of truth for many fields.

Presumably such locale deletions should have NEWS entries.

it has a bug which means it'll get automatically listed in NEWS.
is that not sufficient ?

I think feature additions / removals should have proper NEWS entries 
separate from the list of fixed bugs.

OK.  i expect there will be many locale listings this release.

From my point of view, it is nice to see locales getting some much needed love.

i'm just being selfish and using them as an excuse to learn about locales :).
they tend to be an esoteric part of the programming environment.
