There is no way to uppercase abbreviated month name using localize method

[mariusz-blaszczak]

What I tried to do

I wanted to have formatted and localized date with month name uppercased and abbreviated.

# without uppercase works good
I18n.localize(Time.zone.local(2018, 5, 11), format: "%e %b %Y", locale: :de)
=> "11 Mai 2018"

# but with uppercase..
# formatting from https://apidock.com/ruby/DateTime/strftime
I18n.localize(Time.zone.local(2018, 5, 11), format: "%e %^b %Y", locale: :de)
=> "11 MAY 2018"

What actually happened

The %^bdirective is no supported in I18n and it returns always english version of the string.

What I expected to happen

When %^bdirective is used, the I18n maps use upcase method in abbreviated month name.

Versions of i18n, rails, and anything else you think is necessary

rails (5.2.2)
i18n (1.5.2)

The code where upcasing might take place:

A patch to fix this would be very welcome!
