Option to make archive and calendar week start on a Monday

Title:
Option to make archive and calendar week start on a Monday

Area:
Archive and sidebar calendar

Summary:
There should be an option that lets you set Monday as the first day of the week in the archive year view and in the calendar module.

Description:
As a European I'm always thrown to see the week start on a Sunday in the archive year view and in the calendar module. I think that, just as we have the option to set time to display as 24 hours instead of AM and PM, we should have the option to set Monday as the first day of the week. It's a small thing but I think it would be a nice way of showing that DW isn't only for people from the US.

Might as well make it an arbitrary choice of which day to start the week on. :-)

Is my 'with changes'. If someone wants to start their week on Tuesday, or any other day, fine by me (doesn't an islamic week start Saturday anyway?).

Make it a choice, as if you're coding to allow a toggle, allowing 7 choices shouldn't be harder, I'd have thought.
