update doc: https://day.js.org/docs/en/plugin/locale-data

We have an experimental plugin localeData from v1.8.10

import dayjs from 'dayjs'
import localeData from 'dayjs/plugin/localeData'
import 'dayjs/locale/ko'

dayjs.extend(localeData) // use plugin
dayjs.locale('ko') // use locale

dayjs().localeData().monthsShort(dayjs())

demo: https://runkit.com/embed/488qfv8m02rz

And if you only want to get the locale object, just import ko from 'dayjs/locale/ko', like this https://github.com/iamkun/dayjs/blob/dev/docs/en/I18n.md#customize

feedback is welcomed.

Isn't there a way to get the locale object from a dayjs date?

Also I find the syntax for dayjs().localeData().monthsShort(dayjs()) a bit confusing. Which one of the two dayjs() instances should be the localized ones? Why do i have to pass to dayjs() instances and not just dayjs().localeData()?

Thanks.
