Summary: A utf-8 support module for Lua and LuaJIT

Description: 

This module adds UTF-8 support to Lua.

It uses data extracted from Unicode Character Database, and tested on
Lua 5.2.3, Lua 5.3.0 and LuaJIT.

parseucd.lua is a pure Lua script which generates unidata.h, to support
converting characters and checking characters' category.

It is compatible with Lua's own string module and passes all string and
pattern matching tests in the Lua test suite2.

It also adds some useful routines against UTF-8 features, such as:

1. A convenient interface to escape Unicode sequences in strings.
2. String insert/remove, since UTF-8 substring extraction may be
expensive.
3. Calculate Unicode width, useful when implementing e.g. console
emulator.
4. A useful interface to translate Unicode offsets and byte
offsets.
5. Checking UTF-8 strings for validity and removing invalid byte
sequences.
6. Converting Unicode strings to normal form.
