Add Shavian support #50

Darwin has a very extensive roadmap which is to be commended. I would also like the Shavian alphabet supported which was a phonemic alphabet with "1 letter per sound" originally proposed by Bernard Shaw and then developed after his death by Ronald Kingsley-Read:

𐑓𐑹 𐑛𐑳𐑒𐑕 𐑪𐑯 𐑩 𐑐𐑪𐑯𐑛, 𐑩 𐑜𐑮𐑭𐑕-𐑚𐑨𐑙𐑒 𐑚𐑦𐑘𐑪𐑯𐑛, 𐑩 𐑚𐑤𐑵 𐑕𐑒𐑲 𐑝 𐑕𐑐𐑮𐑦𐑙, 𐑢𐑲𐑑 𐑒𐑤𐑬𐑛𐑟 𐑪𐑯 𐑞 𐑢𐑦𐑙; 𐑢𐑪𐑑 𐑩 𐑤𐑦𐑑𐑩𐑤 𐑔𐑦𐑙 𐑑 𐑮𐑦𐑥𐑧𐑥𐑚𐑼 𐑓 𐑘𐑽𐑟- 𐑑 𐑮𐑦𐑥𐑧𐑥𐑚𐑼 𐑢𐑦𐑞 𐑑𐑽𐑟!

Four ducks on a pond, A grass-bank beyond, A blue sky of spring, White clouds on the wing; What a little thing To remember for years- To remember with tears!

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I've added it to #1, where I'm keeping track of extensions of Darwin to other writing systems, including both extension I'm personally interested in adding eventually, as well as requested additions.
