The FormatSettings fields are still encoded with System Code Page
regardless of DefaultSystemCodePage value.

While for english locales there's no problem, other locales like PT-BR have
accented names in days and monthes.

The problem is in windows SysUtils.GetLocaleStr function that uses non
unicode Win Api function. This problem will affect also the UnicodeString
RTL.

Attached is a test app that shows the issue. It also has a version of
GetLocaleStr that fixes the issue for the RTL (both versions)
