Subject: [PATCH] date: fix double periods in Hungarian month abbreviations

ICU's DateTimeFormatter with fieldsets::M::medium() returns month
abbreviations with trailing periods (e.g., "febr." for Hungarian).
When the Hungarian locale format string contains "%Y. %b. %d"
(with periods after year and month), the ICU output resulted in
double periods: "febr.."

This fix strips trailing periods from ICU month abbreviations to
match the standard C/POSIX locale behavior.

Also adds a new test case for abbreviated month names across
multiple locales to prevent regression.

Fixes #10921
