Add Tifinagh languages and tests.

[scossu]

@RandyBarry see attached test results. There seems to be a problem transliterating the comma character, and maybe a couple of other characters that I can't tell right now if it's an incorrect test pair or an incorrect mapping.

Stefano, I now realize what the problem is with the comma. The Tifinagh script has a separator character that I learned was used like a comma, so I mapped it to the Latin comma. Unfortunately, The languages that use Tifinagh script also use regular Latin punctuation marks, so I will need to map the special Tifinagh separator to something unique in the Latin script—perhaps the Latin comma with a double underscore (\u0333). The other thing you mentioned, the possible problem with other characters, is a a font problem. Combinations of Tifinagh characters with combining characters aren’t displaying correctly in MS Excel. The underlying character values are correct, fortunately. I will fix the mapping of the Tifinagh separator and send you a new “tifinagh_generic.yml” file as well as test data. Randy

I have updated the mappings and the tests. There are still a few outstanding issues:

tamashek.csv
tamazight_moroccan.csv
tifinagh_generic.csv

[RandyBarry]

What are the outstanding issues in the mappings for Tifinagh script and/or the languages that use it? I don't see the before/after comparisons.

Sorry, I had attached your test files instead of the reports.

Here are the correct files:

test_tamashek.log
test_tamazight_moroccan.log
test_tifinagh_generic.log

As you can see, some of the issues are related to the comma + combining underscore we discussed over email.

E.g. "Imdanen, akken" transliterates "ⵉⵎⴷⴰⵏⴻⵏ, ⴰⴽⴽⴻⵏ" instead of "ⵉⵎⴷⴰⵏⴻⵏ⵰ ⴰⴽⴽⴻⵏ" because the lone comma is not mapped -- the comma followed by a combining underscore is. Conversely, "ⵉⵎⴷⴰⵏⴻⵏ⵰ ⴰⴽⴽⴻⵏ" transliterates into " Imdanen,̲ akken" instead of the expected "Imdanen, akken".
