Ensure that the provider performs correct alias mapping for Traditional Chinese locales

[hsivonen]

Ensure that if a specific (and existing) collation hasn't been specified with -u-co-, the following map to zh-u-co-stroke:

• zh-Hant regardless of region.
• zh without Hans but with any of HK, MO, TW.
• yue without either Hans or CN.

For clarity: CLDR maps yue-CN and yue-Hans to zh-Hans, i.e. zh-u-co-pinyin.

Ensure that if a specific (and existing) collation hasn't been specified with -u-co-, the following map to zh-u-co-stroke:

• zh-Hant regardless of region.

This will be possible so long as zh-Hant contains the correct data. I'll add a test for this.

• zh without Hans but with any of HK, MO, TW.

This should be automatic given that these fallbacks are included in parent locales / likely subtags; all of these locales will fall back via zh-Hant.

• yue without either Hans or CN.

Looks like the mappings in likely subtags are correct:

      "yue": "yue-Hant-HK",
      "yue-CN": "yue-Hans-CN",
      "yue-Hans": "yue-Hans-CN",

I'll add a test for it.

There is a list of collation-specific aliases/parents in the LDML-to-ICU converter:

https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/blob/0266970e977b9e2488dfbf788cc280be3a0338ca/tools/cldr/cldr-to-icu/build-icu-data.xml#L263

Obviously, that list isn't making it into ICU4X.

I chatted with @markusicu about this today. He says that it may make sense to introduce a "processing" mode to the locale fallback engine. This mode can be used for both collator and break iterator.

I need to verify whether the set of ICU-specific overrides should apply uniformly to both collator data and segmenter data.

I still need to implement the actual zigzag fallback, but this can be done in the Collation fallback mode.

See some more recent discussion in #3867

This might be fixed with #5743 but we should add a test for it.

I'll add a test for it.

Did this happen?
