Implement currency formatting with long display names. 
Namely, things like:

    "123,456.78 US dollars"

(en locale)

or

    "dólares estadounidenses 123,456.78"

(es-GT locale)

The algorithm for doing this is described here: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Currencies and CLDR contains the data.

I'd be happy to attempt to implement this myself. Two issues I'm aware of:

1) What should the API be? An extra parameter to `format_currency`? A new `format_type` (this risks clashing with other format types already defined)?

2) It looks like this would require data not currently available in the pickled locale data. Specifically it requires the `unitPattern` data. I'm not sure how to go about adding this - apart from the `import_cldr.py` script, is there a specific process to follow?

For comparison, browsers currently implement this as part of [Intl.NumberFormat](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/NumberFormat) using options `{currencyDisplay: "name"}`. In a browser console you can do:

    > Intl.NumberFormat("en", {currencyDisplay:"name", style:"currency", currency:"USD"}).format(123456.78)
    "123,456.78 US dollars"
