fix: error when attempting to access Intl API on some versions of Windows (#15693)

On some versions of Windows merely trying to access the `Intl` object can cause IE to throw an error, if the default `Map` object has been overwritten (e.g. when polyfilling). These changes add a `try/catch` around our usages so that users' apps don't crash completely on load.

Fixes #15687.
