Add the Yoruba Language (yo_NG) as a new locale

[mrsimi]

Clear and concise description of the problem

As a developer using faker I want to be able to generate fake data that are native to the Yoruba Language. This will include person names, dates, and color.

I will be willing to create a PR for it.

Suggested solution

Create a locale feature that is for the yoruba language under the yo_NG ISO

Thank you for your feature proposal.

We marked it as "waiting for user interest" for now to gather some feedback from our community:

• If you would like to see this feature be implemented, please react to the description with an up-vote (:+1:).

• If you have a suggestion or want to point out some special cases that need to be considered, please leave a comment, so we are aware about them.

  We would also like to hear about other community members' use cases for the feature to give us a better understanding of their potential implicit or explicit requirements.

  We will start the implementation based on:

• the number of votes (:+1:) and comments

• the relevance for the ecosystem

• availability of alternatives and workarounds

• and the complexity of the requested feature

  We do this because:

• There are plenty of languages/countries out there and we would like to ensure that every method can cover all or almost all of them.

• Every feature we add to faker has "costs" associated to it:

  • initial costs: design, implementation, reviews, documentation
  • running costs: awareness of the feature itself, more complex module structure, increased bundle size, more work during refactors

Are new locales expected to hit the 10 👍 threshold like feature requests? Because other recent locale additions have not had to (Serbian, Danish, Esperanto etc). My feeling is if someone is willing to put in the work to do the PR and its verifiable (e.g. not so obscure a language that it doesn't appear on Google Translate) then it shouldnt have to hit a 10 vote minimum to be merged.

FFR: yo_NG the language used in Nigeria.

Feel free to create the PR. But ~one PR per module/category please e.g. person, location. (Metadata doesn't count as module/category.) Small sequential PRs are easier to review for us then large or parallel ones.

Thanks for your help.
