  1. CLDR-15391 Fix Cans Script Match 

    The main purpose of this change is to update the default language for Canadian Aborginal syllabics [Cans] from Inukitut [iu] to Cree [cr] since Cree has a larger population. Understandably, both of these languages are macrolanguages with many variations -- so its funny to include both the Cree macrolanguage along with its constituents. But I think it's better to cover both groupings because depending on the consumer they may want [cr] data or constituent data.

While I was doing this I updated all of the Canadian locale data to the 2021 Census. I also added a few missing aborginal Canadian languages: Woods Cree [cwd] and Western Ojibway [ojw].

See the 2021 Census table here: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=9810021601

  3. CLDR-15391 Restore cwd->cr alias, add likely subtags override instead. 

    I'll note that Cree is only official in the Northern Territories (NT). However [the NT law](https://web.archive.org/web/20090324202430/http://www.justice.gov.nt.ca/PDF/ACTS/Official_Languages.pdf) does not specify which Cree variation -- the only Cree language present in NT is Plains Cree [crk] so I infer that is the correct match.

  4. CLDR-15931 GenerateLikelySubtags cleanup 

    Removed hardcoded _CA entries because they aren't necessary since the likely subtags can be derived from the population data.

Also edited the cr_Cans_CA comment because it was overflowing the line and to add more context.
