Integrate Globalize as one or more custom methods for number and date validation

[jzaefferer]

See https://github.com/jquery/globalize/
Passing a value to the appropriate should return a good value to be considered value, while null or NaN would be considered invalid.

I've been having to cater for this issue for a while now and ended up creating an extension to jQuery Validation which uses Globalize for number / date parsing. You can find it here: https://github.com/johnnyreilly/jquery-validation-globalize

I'm guessing that at some point in the future this will no longer be needed but people may find it helpful in the meantime.

Thanks @johnnyreilly, that's great. I'll probably use that as a starting point, once Globalize is running on top of CLDR. That's currently a work in progress and may involve API changes.

My pleasure @jzaefferer - I'm keeping an eye on the CLDR changes and will make any necessary amends to jquery.validate.globalize.js once API changes are clear.

[jzaefferer]

@johnnyreilly btw. the Globalize version based on CLDR is looking pretty good by now. The authors appreciate feedback you might have!

[johnnyreilly]

Thanks for the heads up @jzaefferer - I'll try and take a look sometime soon 👍

Note to self: Work with @johnnyreilly to update his project to Globalize 1.x, document that as an alternative to (bad) bundled methods.
