I14N, L10N impacts: CLDR 39 alpha, ICU 69 dev, git lfs prereq, Unicode 14 alpha

[Brian Inglis]

Hi folks,

Just a heads up that CLDR is changing a number of its structures impacting ICU, 
and both CLDR alpha and ICU dev are available for testing "some significant 
migration issues" before their final release on 2021 Apr 7 Wed:

The ICU repo requires git lfs installed and it does not appear to be packaged yet.

Also Unicode 14 alpha is available for review as they are changing some of their 
attributes and uses on code points:
