Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-text-3] line-break property should mention Finnish language

ICU is implemented using [language-specific manifest files](http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/icu4c/source/data/brkitr?order=name), where each language can describe whether or not it supports the `lb` behavior.

For example, [the file for en-US](http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/icu4c/source/data/brkitr/en_US.txt) says that it doesn't have any special `lb` behavior.

On the other hand, [the file for Finnish](http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/icu4c/source/data/brkitr/fi.txt) says that it has special handling for loose, normal, and strict behaviors.

Those manifest files reference rules defined in [these rules files](http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/browser/trunk/icu4c/source/data/brkitr/rules). These rules files get compiled at build-time into bytecode which automatically gets loaded and interpreted at runtime.
