Changes to reflect ISO 15924

Changes were made earlier this week to add or modify eight code elements 
in ISO 15924.  The changes for two of these code elements, 'Hani' and 
'Rjng', do not affect the script subtags in the Language Subtag 
Registry.  Below are the proposed new records and modification forms for 
the other six subtags.  These are being posted for a two-week review 
period before forwarding to IANA.

Note that "Code for inherited script" is a particularly odd bird from 
the standpoint of BCP 47, and probably won't see much use there.  It was 
added for a specific reason involving a Unicode specification.
