Normative: Allow use of non-ISO 4217 data in CurrencyDigits AO (#922)

* Normative: Allow use of non-ISO 4217 data in `CurrencyDigits` AO This PR allows for locale data other than ISO 4217 for determining the number of fractional digits to be used when formatting currency values. In some applications ISO 4217 is most appropriate, in some CLDR data, and in some neither is best. See #921 (comment) Resolves #134 This PR makes the `CurrencyDigits` AO implementation-defined.
