Review request for Flume.
Description
-------

It is not possible in the version 1.3.0 of Flume to parse UK or US date from a French computer using the interceptor RegexExtractorInterceptorMillisSerializer.

Indeed, the DateTimeFormatter created in the interceptor is currently using the default Locale which is FR on my computer. When I try to parse some files I got from US, I got the following exception:
2012-12-31 17:09:13,370 (pool-5-thread-1) [ERROR - org.apache.flume.source.SpoolDirectorySource$SpoolDirectoryRunnable.run(SpoolDirectorySource.java:148)] Uncaught exception in Runnable

The solution I propose is to add a new property called "language" to the interceptor which will allow us to override the default Locale.
This addresses bug FLUME-1814.

Testing

I added two JUnit tests and I fully tested the new property.
