New keyword "compat"

Example:

    ar-u-co-compat

Meaning: "A compatibility collation tailoring, intended to use a
previous version of the collation rules."

In ticket http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/4207  a major change to
Arabic collation is proposed.
So that the previous tailoring can be retrieved, the "compat" keyword is
proposed.

Please reply to this list if you have comments or concerns.

The ticket # referenced above will be used to implement this keyword.
