Coerce string of Intl formatted number -> number

[willfarrell]

What version of Ajv you are you using?
8.11.0
What problem do you want to solve?
Ability to coerce strings containing numbers formatted using other notations, based on locale

"1,234.56" -> 1234.56
"1 234.56" -> 1234.56
"1.234,56" -> 1234.56
"1 234,56" -> 1234.56

What do you think is the correct solution to problem?
Options:
a) To ensure there are minimal perf ramifications, the ability to have the ability override the type coerce function. However, this is the only use case I can think of that would apply to any of the types.
b) Add a locale and coerceLocaleNumber to the options, and have a condition to use a slower algorithm See below in ref section). This would apply to all number coerceTo, which may be unwanted.
c) New ajv-keyword, or extend transform keyword
d) Add new format: "formattedNumber" to the spec with a locale ajv option (or in the spec some how?), and use that as an indicator to choose coerce method.

I think something along the lines of d) might be the cleanest. But can start with c). I can see this leading to a larger discussion around the use of locale with JSON-schema for number, date, and enum lists.

Would be interested to hear others thoughts on this.

Will you be able to implement it?
possibly
