This PR adds a profile, as discussed in #2 (comment)

It is of course impossible to revert the "compression" performed by ASJP code, so that we end up with a very broad phonemic transcription, where the grapheme indicates a sound-space not only wider than expected, but also potentially mixing two or more phonemes in the same language. No way around that, unless one redoes ASJP from scratch. Note also that, as in the ASJP definition, some forms are actually reduced, not including morphological/inflected material that is actually necessary for a true form.

The profile includes a handful of corrections for cases that were against the formal definition of ASJP, and which I looked up either in the original or in other sources. Those are all single-form entries, with starting with ^ and ending with $.

Is this list identical with the list of symbol equivalents we have for BIPA in CLTS? if not, I'd encourage you to add the symbols to our ASJP transcriptionsystem, so we cover the full range of ASJP there...

If I remember (I did this months ago) the BIPA in CLTS is a subset of the one I am pushing, some combinations of symbols + diacritics were missing. I'll add an issue there.
