Treat Latin American locales specially
Due to legacy reasons, Android translations of European Spanish were kept under 'es', while Latin American Spanish translations were kept under 'es-US'. The combination of this, and the new locale preference rules in Nougat, resulted in 'es' winning over 'es-US' for all Latin American locales, since 'es' was a direct ancestor, while 'es-US' was just a fallback. The changes in Nougat had assumed that app developers would put Latin American Spanish translations under 'es-419', but that could create a backward-compatibility problem under older Android versions that did not support three-digit region codes properly. This CL keeps the Nougat logic and its locale parent tree, but special-cases es-US and es-MX to be treated as equivalents of es-419 in cases where they are present and es-419 is not.
