Chrome does not follow the Windows locale

Reported by lbha...@gmail.com, Jun 15 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Goto Control Panel -> Change Date, Input, Number formats. Change the Format to India. On Location tab, change Home Location to India. On the Administrative tab, change Current System Locale to English(India).
2. Logout and Login. 
3. Restart Chrome.
4. It still sends en-us as the default locale to the server as well as to Javascript.

What is the expected behavior?
It should change it to en-in. The change should be visible in the way the Javascript outputs the value for toLocaleDateString() for a Date object. For en-us it should be "6/15/2017", and for en-in it should be "15/6/2017".

What went wrong?
You forgot to recognize the system locale.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.110  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0

Able to reproduce this issue on Windows 10 with chrome Stable #59.0.3071.109, #61.0.3137.0 and also in earlier version M-30 #30.1595.0, this is a non-regression issue, hence marking it as untriaged

Attaching the sample html test case and screenshots for reference.

This is not a localization bug. Can't confirm that it's still relevant to the current English UI.
