Compat work for Globalization

[danmoseley]

Most interesting from usage point of view are:

M:System.Globalization.TextInfo.get_OEMCodePage
M:System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(System.String)
M:System.Globalization.TextInfo.ToTitleCase(System.String)
M:System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(System.String)
M:System.Globalization.CultureInfo.get_InstalledUICulture
M:System.Globalization.CultureInfo.#ctor(System.String,System.Boolean)
M:System.Globalization.CompareInfo.GetSortKey(System.String)

Fuller list, including many with little usage in our corpora:

We have split the work into the following issues:

@tarekgh is ToTitleCase in today? I cannot find it even if docs are saying that it is there: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/api/system.globalization.textinfo#System_Globalization_TextInfo_ToTitleCase_System_String_

[tarekgh]

@tugberkugurlu yes it is there. you need to reference the latest version of System.Runtime (something like 4.3.0-preview1-24530-04).

here is the listing of the API as part of System.Runtime:
https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/master/src/System.Runtime/ref/System.Runtime.cs#L4027

please note that the implementation is currently supported on Windows and we are going to support it on Linux very soon. tracked by the issue dotnet/corefx#11616

let me know if you have any further questions

@tarekgh thanks, helpful to know and I will watch dotnet/corefx#11616. I guess it's still no use to me ATM because I need it to run outside of Windows (Mac and Linux) and it's still not on nuget.org 😞
