When user upgrades from a localized Site with a localized Friendly URL, an empty Friendly URL is given. The localized Friendly URL is transferred to the English Friendly URL.

Here are the steps to reproduce:
1. Start 6.1.30 as a localized site (include company.default.locale=de_DE in portal-ext)
2. Create a friendly URL on any page
3. Shutdown Liferay
4. Upgrade to 6.2 EE (include company.default.locale=de_DE in 6.2 portal-ext)
5. Click Edit Page Icon
6. Assert localized (German) Friendly URL is deleted
7. Assert created Friendly URL is transferred to English locale
8. Click Save
9. Assert Blank Edit Page Menu
10. Assert Exceptions

Expected Result:
Friendly URL is accurately upgraded to correct localization

Actual Result:
Any Friendly URL is automatically transferred to English localization

Navigating to Localized Friendly URL still works afterward.
