[loc-en-dev] Norwegian special lookup

[Mark Davis ☕]

I restructured a bit, so that I could see more clearly what was going on.

And I suggest one change. It is it clearer to me by reducing it to exactly
three outcomes.

   1. If request matches pattern "no_NO_NY[_*]",
      1. Insert "nn_NO[_*]" *before* every level.
      2. At the end, append "nn", "no_NO" and "no" in this order.
   2. If request matches pattern "nn_NO[_*],* generate same results as as #1
   with:*
      1. Insert "no_NO_NY[_*]" *after* every level.
      2. At the end, append "nn", "no_NO" and "no" in this order.
   3. Otherwise if request contains language "no"
      1. Insert locale replacing "no" with "nb" at each level *before* (was
      "after") "no" version.
   4. If request contains language "nb",* **generate same results as as #3
   with:*
      1. Insert locale replacing "nb" with "no" at each level after "nb"
      version.
   5. Otherwise if request contains language "nn",
      1. At the end, append "no"

In practice it should make no difference, since we never expect both old and
new formats in the same resource bundles. But I think it is clearer, and
reduces your table size substantially!
