Pure Haskell implementation of `base:GHC.Unicode`.

Pierre Le Marre requested to merge Wismill/ghc:wip/unicode-data into master

Switch to a pure Haskell implementation of base:GHC.Unicode, based on the implementation of unicode-data.

  • Remove cbits and corresponding generator.
  • Add a generator for Unicode property files. This generator can actually produce more data; all but the relevant properties are commented out. The generated files are located in GHC.Unicode.Internal sub-modules.
  • Update GHC.Unicode.
  • Add test unicode003 to check general categories and case mappings for all characters.
  • Add Python scripts to compare GHC outputs to another language.

Fixes #21375 (closed)
