[kadingira] Babel 3.16

[Javier Bezos]

Hi all,

Babel has reached version 3.16. Version 3.17 will follow soon
because there are a few bugs in the new option layout. With
it, you can control how bidi layout is applied, but there are
still some elements not yet handled (eg, footnotes).

I hope a more or less complete basic bidi support for luatex
(including footnotes, tables, etc.) will be finished before
Summer 2018. Other engines must wait very likely until Winter.

The latest version is on GitHub (which fixes these bugs):

https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/tree/master/required/babel

You can find there a few sample files, too.
