Use `inherits` keyword for BGN(/PCGN) Japanese systems #93

BGN/PCGN 1976 and 1930 are the same system. From the current document:

The modified Hepburn system for the romanization of Japanese has been in use by the BGN and the PCGN since the 1930’s and has been used extensively in the romanization of Japanese geographic names. This system is well adapted to the general needs of speakers of English and is the most widely used system for romanization of Japanese. In 2007, the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) issued “Toponymic Guidelines for Map Editors and other Editors, Japan (Third Edition)2,” and the BGN and the PCGN have adopted several of the guidelines dealing with romanization.

https://gitlab.com/calconnect/tc-localization/csd-transcription-systems/ now specifies 3 different systems:

This task is to use the inherits keyword to implement / re-structure these systems.
