Input method for Tifinagh (alphabet of the Berber language)

Hi,

As a daily user of GNU Emacs 29.3 and a native speaker of the Berber
language, spoken in North African countries such as Morocco, I regret the
inability to input characters from the Tifinagh (can be pronounced
"tee-fee-nar") alphabet, the alphabet used by the Berber language.

So I wrote a quail package for inputting Tifinagh and thought it would be a
nice addition to the input methods already available inside Emacs.

I based my implementation on arabic.el for the arabie input method, and
just remapped the keys to the correct phonetic symbols.

Your feedback will be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Adam
