Bug 1465042 - Rename Locale::IsValid to ::IsWellFormed. r=jfkthame

Details | Review 
Based on a conversation in bug 1438687, we check for locale tags to be well formed, but not for validity. The latter would include checking that all subtags are in the subtag registry, which doesn't help us much in practice.

Let's rename the status to match reality, and call it ::IsWellFormed.
Thanks for filing this Axel!

To add details:
1) Change mIsValid -> mIsWellFormed
2) Change IsValid() -> IsWellFormed()
3) Change Invalidate() -> SetWellFormed(false)
4) Switch away from using well-formedness for matching exclusion
5) Document well-formed vs valid in the docs
