Load the locale data for the given locale.
The locale data is a dictionary that contains much of the data defined by
the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR). This data is stored as a
collection of pickle files inside the babel package.
>>> d = load('en_US')
>>> d['languages']['sv']
u'Swedish'
Note that the results are cached, and subsequent requests for the same
locale return the same dictionary:
>>> d1 = load('en_US')
>>> d2 = load('en_US')
>>> d1 is d2

IOError - if no locale data file is found for the given locale
identifer, or one of the locales it inherits from
