[mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseLexeme@master] Add lexeme language codes kyw-beng, kyw-deva, txo-beng, cdz-beng, mjx-beng, ksy-beng

The reason I am requesting the scripts for these languages is because they do not have one single standard script. Please find the list of scripts which each languages use,

1. Kurmali - Devanagari, Bangla, Odia, Chisoi (newly developed)
2. Toto - Bangla, Toto (newly developed)
3. Koda - Nagachiki, Bangla
4. Mahali - no script, usually uses Bangla script
5. Kharia Thar - no script, usually uses Bangla script

@Amire80 for your consideration

Looks mostly okay, but is there any chance you could decide that certain scripts are primary for any of these languages and use just the language code without script code? It happened several times that we added script codes that turned out to be not useful, and then it's hard to remove them, like skr-arab.

1. Kurmali speakers use the script of the most used languages of the regions they live, for e.g Devanagari script in Jharkhand, Odia script in Odisha, Bangla script in West Bengal. Chisoi is a newly developed artificial script which is not widely used in the community.
2. Toto language speakers use Bangla script as they live in West Bengal. A Toto script has been developed very recently, but not widely used.
3. Same goes with Koda speakers. Koda people living in West Bengal use Bangla script. They are also developing an artificial script named Nagachiki, which is not widely used in their community.
4. Mahali do not have their own primary script. People speaking this language uses Bangla and sometime Latin
5. Same goes for Kharia Thar, who also do not have any primary script but uses Bangla as the script available to their native region.

So, unfortunately, there are no primary scripts for any of these languages. Bangla is also not their primary script because this is the script which is available to their native region and they use this script for their convenience. If we had an option to add language codes without script codes, we would definitely do so, but for these languages, we have no other option.

OK, I guess no objection from Language committee. The patches for this are usually done by Wikidata developers.
