I14N, L10N impacts: CLDR 39 alpha, ICU 69 dev, git lfs prereq, Unicode 14 alpha

[Brian Inglis]

Hi folks,

Just a heads up that CLDR is changing a number of its structures impacting ICU, 
and both CLDR alpha and ICU dev are available for testing "some significant 
migration issues" before their final release on 2021 Apr 7 Wed:

http://blog.unicode.org/2021/03/unicode-cldr-v39-alpha-available-for.html

http://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-39

The ICU repo requires git lfs installed and it does not appear to be packaged yet.

https://github.com/unicode-org/icu

Also Unicode 14 alpha is available for review as they are changing some of their 
attributes and uses on code points:

Thanks for the heads up.  If there are significant migration issues, I probably 
won't package icu-69 right away when it's released.  Cygwin is already ahead of 
Fedora Rawhide, which is still on icu-67.
