Add Likely Subtags first step

I agree with Mark on all of these:
• adding variant 'oxford' with prefix "en" and deprecating
"en-GB-oed". I don't prefer something cryptic like 'oxendict' if
'oxford' is acceptable to all.
• adding variant 'idefault' with prefix "en" and deprecating
"i-default". This subtag value is better than 'default' (which I
originally would have preferred) as the latter would have been
misleading.
• adding variant 'enochian' with prefix "art" and deprecating
"i-enochian". (If you insist, that is. I'm still not sure what "not
important enough" means.)
• adding variant 'mingo' with prefix 'see' and deprecating "i-mingo".
• deprecating "cel-gaulish" and adding a "see ..." Comments field
with subtags alphabetized.
• adding a "see ..." Comments field to the already-deprecated
"zh-min" (with subtags alphabetized), and hoping that will be the end of
digital ink spilled over this ill-conceived tag.
I will send forms to the list after we get through the ISO 639-3 changes
and the click letters, since this category of changes seems to be the
lowest priority of the three.
