In unicode-org/cldr#2954, CLDR changed the display names of the Islamic calendars to Hijri, without changing the BCP-47 codes. We should do the same in the ICU4X API. This would mean that the following names would change:

Old New
IslamicCivil HijriCivil
IslamicObservational HijriObservational
IslamicTabular HijriTabular
IslamicUmmAlQura HijriUmmAlQura

Might also impact data marker names.

Also see #6210.

* ~Can we change the era code to be `hijri` instead of `islamic`?~
* ~it could also be `ah`, given that other calendars use (Latin)
abbreviations~
* `calendrical_calculations` also uses "islamic", do we want to change
that?
