[Bug 1746705] [NEW] ð matched by "grep '[A-Z]'" while Ð is not, and vice versa for '[a-z]'

[Kevin Brubeck Unhammer]

Public bug reported:

It seems like ð and Ð are swapped wrt. capitalisation in nn_NO.UTF-8 and
nb_NO.UTF-8 locales.

ð should be lowercase, Ð should be uppercase, but when using grep A-Z or
a-z, they're switched. (The [:upper:] and [:lower:] classes are not
affected.)

$ for class in a-z A-Z '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'; do echo "grep [${class}] matches:"; echo a A ð Ð | LANG=nn_NO.UTF-8 grep -o "[${class}]";done
grep [a-z] matches:
a
Ð
grep [A-Z] matches:
A
ð
grep [[:upper:]] matches:
A
Ð
grep [[:lower:]] matches:
a
ð
