[Bug 1267877] [NEW] Incorrect localization format for numbers and money ES-MX

[Christian Servín]

Public bug reported:

Language selector for regional formats in Español; Castellano (México)
sets numerical and monetary formats in an incorret way.

Right now it shows as:
numerical: 1.234.567,89
date: fri 10 jan 2014 08:20:14 CST
money: $ 20457.99

But it should be like:
numerical: 1,234,567.89
date: fri 10 jan 2014 08:20:14 CST
money: $20,457.9999

in numerical we use the , for thousand indicator and . for decimal
in money we don place a whitespace after the $ and we use the same as numerical format, with the thousand indicator, we expand the decimals to 4 digits because tax (%16) numerical operations do not work well with only 2 digits, this tax just began in 01 Jan 2010 and not all systems have been updated but they should eventualy, plus we also make monetary exchanges based on 4 decimal digit precicions like: "USD/MXN 12.9655"
