The DecimalFormatSymbols for Norwegian and 59 other languages use the minus-sign (unicode 8722) instead of the hyphen-minus sign (ascii 45). While technically correct, Gherkin is written on regular keyboards and there is no practical way to write a minus-sign. By patching the `DecimalFormatSymbols` with a regular minus sign we solve this problem. Additionally, for the same reason, the non-breaking space (ascii 160) and right single quotation mark (unicode 8217) for thousands separators are also patched with either a period or colon. Fixes: #287
