Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a plugin developer, I want to call a function to find the correct ordinal for an individual number in an ordered list - e.g. ordinal(3) -> 3rd or ordinal(3) -> 'rd' - so that I can easily ensure my ordered lists are grammatically correct without manually duplicating the logic calls for finding the correct value each time.

Describe the solution you'd like
A method, either on the existing NumberUtil, or as part of the new math module to perform this function.

Gonna have to cc @SkyezerFox for this one.

ICU4J looks incredibly powerful and could be used to our benefit elsewhere in the future, imo, but I'm not sure if pulling in an additional dependency is optimal if we're only using it for this one small thing.

[aakatz3]

We should consider where ICU4J can be used, and, if there is enough, use it directly, and implement it.

This is maybe 6 lines of code. No deps needed.

Added an ordinal generator in commit f495c46 - comments appreciated.
