Description

Locale.LanguageCode and Locale.ScriptCode defines common language and script codes as static vars for easy access, such as

@_alwaysEmitIntoClient
public static var danish: Locale.LanguageCode { Locale.LanguageCode("da") }

We can consider exposing common Locale.NumberingSystem as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing static variables for Locale.LanguageCode and Locale.ScriptCode in the swift foundation repository, then replicate the pattern for Locale.NumberingSystem by adding common numbering system constants.
