ISO updates

The ISO 15924 list of script codes is updated regularly, usually at least once a year. The current list is complete as of 25 January 2021, and defines 208 codes (code, number, script name).

Note: when resolving red links or wrong links, edit {{ISO 15924/wp-name}} or {{ISO 15924/wp-category}}. That is where the connection between ISO code and Wikipedia names is made.
