Description
When Montenegro/Serbia locales are added, CalendarData_sr.properties,CalendarData_sr_CS.properties, CalendarData_sr_BA.properties were added with the same data while just having CalendarData_sr.properties would be sufficient. 

Remove the unnecessary files, CalendarData_sr_CS.properties and CalendarData_sr_BA.properties

Also - ConvertLocaleData Tool's bundlelist.xml needs to be updated to include these recent new additional locales.
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX Remove the following files: (Note - only the newly introduced locales are examined) CalendarData_sr_BA.properties (falls back to CalendarData_sr.properties) CalendarData_sr_CS.properties (falls back to CalendarData_sr.properties) CalendarData_mt_MT.properties (falls back to CalendarData_mt.properties)

EVALUATION There are more cases like this. See the "Suggested Fix" for the complete list of unnecessary files.

EVALUATION CalendarData_sr_BA.properties and CalendarData_sr_CS.properties are not needed since they fallback to CalendarData_sr.properties sr* locales are missing from bundlelist.xml in the ConvertLocaleData Tool
