Registration form and record for LY

[Doug Ewell]

As predicted, ISO 3166/MA has changed the English short name for code
element LY from "Libyan Arab Jamahiriya" to "Libya".  (Similar changes
were made to the English long name and French names, which do not affect
the Language Subtag Registry.)  Below are the proposed record and
registration form to make this change in the Registry.

This particular change was discussed on this list six weeks ago, with no
objections to speak of, so the two-week review period ending November 25
might be expected to go smoothly.
