<i18n dev> [10] RFR JDK-8177472: Remove hard-coded IANA Subtag Registry map in LocaleEquivalentMap.java

[Roger Riggs]

Hi Nishit,

Can the hardcoded copyright be made more automatic?

I see the make/src/classes/build/tools/cldrconverter has functions to 
create/convert copyrights.
Can that be leveraged to generate the needed copyright and reduce some 
potential maintenance
of the copyright date and or contents?

Can the latest copyright date be taken from the File-Date field of the 
subtag-registry?

Thanks, Roger
