Subtag registration: Russian transliteration of Chinese

[Kent Karlsson]

und-Latn-t-ru, or even und-Latn-t-und-Cyrl. That would be for a target
script (Latn in this example), not knowing the target language (thus a
"generic" transcription/transliteration rather than a (target) language
specific one).
