Possible Latgalian locale file demo

Glibc is missing the locale description for Latgalian (ltg).

Latgalian locale is in process of being added to the CLDR:
https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-2671

I have attached a possible implementation for the locale file. It is somewhat
based on the Latvian locale file. I have not verified that the ltg_LV file is
valid.

Some things that would be nice to have, but I have no idea how to describe it
in code:

- Collation rules for Latvian (lv_LV) and Latgalian are the same. Is it
possible to just use the Latvian rules, so that if someone reports a bug for
the Latvian collation rules, they would automatically apply to the Latgalian?
- Is there a way to designate Latvian locale as the fallback to the Latgalian
locale? I mean, if the user chooses to use Latgalian translations, but for a
given application there is no Latgalian translation, the system should try to
use the Latvian translation before falling back to English.
