    [tmac]: Flesh out Italian localization.
    
    * tmac/hyphen.it: Add hyphenation patterns from TeX hyph-utf8 project.
    * tmac/it.tmac:
      - Revise copyright date to just this year (it had been copied from
        fr.tmac).
      - Use grave accents instead of acute ones to indicate stress on
        word-final vowels.  Per the University of Wikipedia and a sampling
        of apparently well-typeset Italian language documents online, this
        appears to be correct.  Yell at me if I'm wrong.
      - Source latin1.tmac instead of latin9.tmac; Italian doesn't require
        any letter code points from Latin-9, unlike the French file upon
        which this one was based, and Latin-1 is less of a pain to work with.
      - Set the hyphenation mode to 1 instead of 4 for congruence with the
        requirements of the hyphenation patterns.
      - Set up hyphenation codes.  This (and sourcing latin1.tmac) might not
        be necessary as the hyphenation pattern file, of a more recent
        vintage than the others we're using, is pure ASCII.  However I don't
        understand these issues perfectly so I am making the conservative
        choice.  Again per the University of Wikipedia, Italian requires
        only acute and grave accents, in contrast to the rich French
        diacritical bouillabaisse.
      - Set the hyphenation language and load the pattern file.
      - Add comments in parallel with other localization files and to supply
        text editors with hints.
