Add support for ICU 4.2
Supporting ICU 4.2 seems useful because it ships with CentOS 6. Versions before ICU 4.6 don't support pkg-config, so document an installation method without using pkg-config. In ICU 4.2, ucol_getKeywordsForLocale() sometimes returns values that will not be accepted by uloc_toLanguageTag(). Skip loading keyword variants in that version.
