QDateTimeParser: always use locale for AM/PM texts

The default implementation used the locale, the reimplementation
supported translating the texts. This mixing of l10n and i18n concepts
resulted in bugs and inconsistencies.

Using the texts for AM/PM from the locale that is set on the date/time
control is sufficient.

[ChangeLog][QtWidgets][QDateTimeParser] AM/PM strings in QDateTimeEdit
and other classes using QDateTimeParser are provided by the locale, and
are no longer translatable.
