Location of papers (was Re: LANGUAGE TAG REGISTRATION FORM)

[Mark Davis]

By the way, I moved these papers to our CVS repository.

http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/language_code_
issues.html
http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/icuhtml/design/jit_localizati
on.html

The language_code_issues has a few updates (and changed title to please
Martin).
