[icu enhancement] ICU's replacement for java.util.GregorianCalendar. Methods, fields, and other functionality specific to ICU are labeled '[icu]'.

GregorianCalendar is a concrete subclass of Calendar and provides the standard calendar used by most of the world.
The standard (Gregorian) calendar has 2 eras, BC and AD.
This implementation handles a single discontinuity, which corresponds by default to the date the Gregorian calendar was instituted (October 15, 1582 in some countries, later in others). The cutover date may be changed by the caller by calling setGregorianChange().
Historically, in those countries which adopted the Gregorian calendar first, October 4, 1582 was thus followed by October 15, 1582. This calendar models this correctly. Before the Gregorian cutover, GregorianCalendar implements the Julian calendar. The only difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendar is the leap year rule. The Julian calendar specifies leap years every four years, whereas the Gregorian calendar omits century years which are not divisible by 400.
GregorianCalendar implements proleptic Gregorian and Julian calendars. That is, dates are computed by extrapolating the current rules indefinitely far backward and forward in time. As a result, GregorianCalendar may be used for all years to generate meaningful and consistent results. However, dates obtained using GregorianCalendar are historically accurate only from March 1, 4 AD onward, when modern Julian calendar rules were adopted. Before this date, leap year rules were applied irregularly, and before 45 BC the Julian calendar did not even exist.
Prior to the institution of the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day was March 25. To avoid confusion, this calendar always uses January 1. A manual adjustment may be made if desired for dates that are prior to the Gregorian changeover and which fall between January 1 and March 24.
Values calculated for the WEEK_OF_YEAR field range from 1 to 53. Week 1 for a year is the earliest seven day period starting on getFirstDayOfWeek() that contains at least getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() days from that year. It thus depends on the values of getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(), getFirstDayOfWeek(), and the day of the week of January 1. Weeks between week 1 of one year and week 1 of the following year are numbered sequentially from 2 to 52 or 53 (as needed).
For example, January 1, 1998 was a Thursday. If getFirstDayOfWeek() is MONDAY and getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is 4 (these are the values reflecting ISO 8601 and many national standards), then week 1 of 1998 starts on December 29, 1997, and ends on January 4, 1998. If, however, getFirstDayOfWeek() is SUNDAY, then week 1 of 1998 starts on January 4, 1998, and ends on January 10, 1998; the first three days of 1998 then are part of week 53 of 1997.
Values calculated for the WEEK_OF_MONTH field range from 0 or 1 to 4 or 5. Week 1 of a month (the days with WEEK_OF_MONTH = 1) is the earliest set of at least getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() contiguous days in that month, ending on the day before getFirstDayOfWeek(). Unlike week 1 of a year, week 1 of a month may be shorter than 7 days, need not start on getFirstDayOfWeek(), and will not include days of the previous month. Days of a month before week 1 have a WEEK_OF_MONTH of 0.
For example, if getFirstDayOfWeek() is SUNDAY and getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is 4, then the first week of January 1998 is Sunday, January 4 through Saturday, January 10. These days have a WEEK_OF_MONTH of 1. Thursday, January 1 through Saturday, January 3 have a WEEK_OF_MONTH of 0. If getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is changed to 3, then January 1 through January 3 have a WEEK_OF_MONTH of 1.
Example:
```
 // get the supported ids for GMT-08:00 (Pacific Standard Time)
 String[] ids = TimeZone.getAvailableIDs(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
 // if no ids were returned, something is wrong. get out.
 if (ids.length == 0)
     System.exit(0);

  // begin output
 System.out.println("Current Time");

 // create a Pacific Standard Time time zone
 SimpleTimeZone pdt = new SimpleTimeZone(-8 * 60 * 60 * 1000, ids[0]);

 // set up rules for daylight savings time
 pdt.setStartRule(Calendar.MARCH, 2, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
 pdt.setEndRule(Calendar.NOVEMBER, 1, Calendar.SUNDAY, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

 // create a GregorianCalendar with the Pacific Daylight time zone
 // and the current date and time
 Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(pdt);
 Date trialTime = new Date();
 calendar.setTime(trialTime);

protected int handleGetMonthLength(int extendedYear,
                                   int month)
```
    Description copied from class: Calendar
    
    Returns the number of days in the given month of the given extended year of this calendar system. Subclasses should override this method if they can provide a more correct or more efficient implementation than the default implementation in Calendar.
    
    Overrides:
    
    handleGetMonthLength in class Calendar
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 2.0.
  - handleGetYearLength
```
protected int handleGetYearLength(int eyear)
```
    Description copied from class: Calendar
    
    Returns the number of days in the given extended year of this calendar system. Subclasses should override this method if they can provide a more correct or more efficient implementation than the default implementation in Calendar.
    
    Overrides:
    
    handleGetYearLength in class Calendar
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 2.0.
  - handleComputeFields
```
protected void handleComputeFields(int julianDay)
```
    Override Calendar to compute several fields specific to the hybrid Gregorian-Julian calendar system. These are:
    - ERA
    - YEAR
    - MONTH
    - DAY_OF_MONTH
    - DAY_OF_YEAR
    - EXTENDED_YEAR
    Overrides:
    
    handleComputeFields in class Calendar
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 2.0.
  - handleGetExtendedYear
```
protected int handleGetExtendedYear()
```
    Description copied from class: Calendar
    
    Returns the extended year defined by the current fields. This will use the EXTENDED_YEAR field or the YEAR and supra-year fields (such as ERA) specific to the calendar system, depending on which set of fields is newer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    handleGetExtendedYear in class Calendar
    
    Returns:
    
    the extended year
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 2.0.
  - handleComputeJulianDay
```
protected int handleComputeJulianDay(int bestField)
```
    Description copied from class: Calendar
    
    Subclasses may override this. This method calls handleGetMonthLength() to obtain the calendar-specific month length.
    
    Overrides:
    
    handleComputeJulianDay in class Calendar
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 2.0.
  - handleComputeMonthStart
```
protected int handleComputeMonthStart(int eyear,
                                      int month,
                                      boolean useMonth)
```
    Return JD of start of given month/year
    
    Specified by:
    
    handleComputeMonthStart in class Calendar
    
    Parameters:
    
    eyear - the extended year
    
    month - the zero-based month, or 0 if useMonth is false
    
    useMonth - if false, compute the day before the first day of the given year, otherwise, compute the day before the first day of the given month
    
    Returns:
    
    the Julian day number of the day before the first day of the given month and year
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 2.0.
  - getType
```
public String getType()
```
    [icu] Returns the calendar type name string for this Calendar object. The returned string is the legacy ICU calendar attribute value, for example, "gregorian" or "japanese".
    See type="old type name" for the calendar attribute of locale IDs at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Key_Type_Definitions
    
    Overrides:
    
    getType in class Calendar
    
    Returns:
    
    legacy calendar type name string
    
    Status:
    Stable ICU 3.8.
  - isEra0CountingBackward
```

protected boolean isEra0CountingBackward()
```
    Deprecated. This API is ICU internal only.
    
    The year in this calendar is counting from 1 backward if the era is 0.
    
    Overrides:
    
    isEra0CountingBackward in class Calendar
    
    Returns:
    
    The year in era 0 of this calendar is counting backward from 1.
    
    Status:
    Internal. This API is ICU internal only.
