Only one place uses it, OrdinalSuffixService::getOrdinalSuffix() in
i18npool/source/ordinalsuffix/ordinalsuffix.cxx with icu::URBNF_ORDINAL.

Note that availability of specific RBNFs depends on the ICU version
LibreOffice is built and linked against, CLDR mentioning something
doesn't necessarily mean it is implemented except maybe in the latest
and greatest ICU, if at all. You'd have to check as of which version
your specific requirement is available, and if quite new then add checks
to autoconf whether the version used to build supports that already and
disable things in code in case it does not.
