Remove duplication in Units Essential and Namespace data by Removing all the patterns that equals to `Other` #5170

Open younies opened 1 month ago

In the CLDR specification: https://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Contents,

In Units Formatting patterns, if the pattern does not exist, choose to Other instead. Therefore, any pattern equal to Other should be deleted and Other should be used as the default value.

The other pattern is actually always required, so it can have its own field instead of being in the ZeroMap. This will often make the map be empty.

Agreed, though I hope that my vague idea of a plural pattern type would resolve this, too.
