Tamil: 3.2 Hyphenation

[r12a]

3.2 Hyphenation https://w3c.github.io/iip/gap-analysis/taml-gap.html#hyphenation

Comment from Muthu:

There are some simple rules for line breaking. Different people use different implementations. However, I can’t find a decent document for this online. Here’s a paper presented at a conference held in Singapore: https://www.academia.edu/671796/Tamil_Hyphenator_P._David_Prabhakar. The First 3 rules in the section Rules for Tamil Hyphenation is a good start.

  muthu: how do we frame the issue here ?
  r12a: the gap would be that hyphenation is not happening for users in browsers, then the next step would be to ask why
  vivek: cdac has rules for many languages and this may be available (though maybe not fully comprehensive) but could be a useful resource
  discussion about how to find the information

I added a brief section on Hyphenation to the LREQ document.

And another to the gap-analysis doc.

Comments welcome.

Note also that i created an interactive test for testing hyphenation, and a test script - not that it shows anything, since browsers don't support Tamil hyphenation afaict.
