[mediawiki/core@master] Add Bono(abr) to Language-fallback-mappings.json

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/1194640

As I wrote in https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.i18n/pull/307 , French probably shouldn't be defined as fallback, unless there's a strong and specific reason for it.

If French is added as one of the fallback languages, then in practice, almost everything will eventually show in French, which probably won't be great for the speakers of this language in Ghana. Did anyone specifically request making French a fallback language, or is it just being copied from the translatewiki "fallback" configuration (which is called "fallback", but is not actually fallback)?

Most likely, no fallback languages should be defined here at all.
