Motivated by issue #982

Finally, the class NumberSystem has got two new constants:

CHINESE_LUNAR_DAYS Chinese day counting (code: hanidays, supported range: 1-32, applicable especially for days in the old lunisolar calendar)

CHINESE_SIMPLIFIED Chinese simplified (code: hans, similar to Chinese Mandarin, main difference is using a simplified notion for zero in printing)

The old constant CHINESE_MANDARIN has changed its code to: mandarin.

The proposed constant for traditional Chinese is not necessary because it is not different from Mandarin when handling numbers below 10,000. Keep in mind that this library is mainly a calendrical library and not designed as all-purpose number formatting library.

In addition, a tiny inconsistency for printing the eleventh month of lunisolar calendar was purged in text resources.
