- libicule and libiculx do not exist anymore in newer ICU versions
(harfbuzz replaces them), but we didn't actually use them, so remove
them from the build feature and from the package dependencies
- Add namespace usage marcos since the newer ICU packages put ICU things
in a namespace, making it easier to have multiple versions of ICU used
side by side.
No functional change intended, but this makes it possible to build the
code with either ICU 57 (for gcc2) or 66 (for other architectures).
* make room in mbstate_t for containing an ICU-converter's state
(well, in fact the whole converter object)
* adjust libroot's locale add-on to clone converters into a given
mbstate_t directly
* adjust ICUThreadLocalStorageValue to contain the converter pointer
instead of a converter-ID (if the converter is related to an
mbstate_t, it points into the mbstate_t).
* adjust users of converters to directly use converter pointers
instead of ICUConverterRef
* drop now unused ICUConverterManager and ICUConverterRef
* update gcc4 optional package
This brings our multibyte implementation into a fully working state,
both non-ascii and non-8-bit characters can now be handled normally
in the Terminal, i.e. this finally fixes#6276.
N.B.: Since the size of mbstate_t has changed, everything (including
the compiler!) needs to be rebuilt.
* update copyrights of locale backend files
Multibyte-support has been rewritten to use ICU as backend.
While this does not necessarily work properly in every aspect
(e.g. the shell still has [different] problems with multibyte-
characters now), it does fix#6263 and #7700.
