icu: Update to 68.1
Changelog:
Common Changes
CLDR 38
Support for units of measurement in inflected languages (phase 1)
14 new measurement units: candela, imperial quart, etc.
Improved locale ID canonicalization spec & data
New language at Modern coverage: Norwegian Nynorsk
New languages at Moderate coverage: Fulah (Adlam), Chakma, Asturian
New languages at Basic coverage: Dogri, Sanskrit
Measurement unit preferences (ICU-20568)
New usage() option on NumberFormatter to select the most appropriate \
unit for a locale and context
New outputUnit() getter on FormattedNumber to get the output unit after \
resolution
In skeletons, specify the context using the "usage" stem
Example: locale "en-GB", skeleton "usage/person \
unit-width-full-name unit/kilogram", input 80 (expressed in kilograms), \
output "12 stone, 8.4 pounds"
Usages are pulled in from CLDR (e.g. CLDR v38 Unit Preferences).
PluralRules selection for ranges of numbers (ICU-21190)
Locale ID canonicalization now conforms to the CLDR spec including edge \
cases; co-developed with CLDR spec & data improvements (ICU-21236, ICU-21115 \
& others)
New LocaleMatcher options: custom threshold (ICU-21144), no default locale \
(ICU-21029)
DateIntervalFormat supports output options such as capitalization (ICU-20651)
Uppercasing for the Armenian language (hy) now maps ligature to (ICU-13416)
Data size reduction: Rule-based segmentation data files (RBBI) use a more \
compact data format and are now half as large (ICU-13565)
Measurement units are normalized in skeleton string output: i.e., calling \
toSkeleton() on a NumberFormatter returns "unit/meter" instead of \
"measure-unit/length-meter"
The ICU User Guide has been migrated to Markdown format, hosted via GitHub \
Pages: https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/
Removed usage of terms like "blacklist" (ICU-21176), \
"master" (ICU-21242), and "grandfathered" (ICU-21184) as \
much as possible.
Time zone data (tzdata) version 2020d (2020-oct-21)
PluralRules category for compact notation numbers in French (ICU-13836)
ICU4C Specific Changes
New C API for number range formatting (unicode/unumberrangeformatter.h), for \
example "750 m - 1.2 km" (ICU-21182)
