Simon Tatham b72c9aba28 New script to generate Unicode data tables.
This will replace the various pieces of Perl scattered throughout the
code base in comments above long boring data tables. The idea is that
those long boring tables will move into header files in the new
'unicode' directory, and will be #included from the source files that
use the tables.

One benefit is that I won't have to page tediously past the tables to
get to the actual code I want to edit. But more importantly, it should
now become easy to update to a new version of Unicode, by re-running
just one script and committing the changed versions of all the headers
in the 'unicode' subdir.

This version of the script regenerates six Unicode-derived tables in
the existing source code in a byte-for-byte identical form. In the
next commits I'll clean it up, commit the output, and delete the
tables from their previous locations.

(One table I _haven't_ incorporated into this system is the Arabic
shaping table in bidi.c, because my attempt to regenerate it came out
not matching the original at all. That _might_ be because the table is
based on an old Unicode standard and desperately needs updating, but
it might also be because I misunderstood how it works. So I'll leave
sorting that out for another time.)
