The GtkComposeTable cache is always in big-endian format and is
byteswapped on load for the more common little-endian CPUs, but
init_builtin_table() in GtkIMContextSimple can't byteswap the built-in
data without copying it, which is undesirable. Pregenerate both big-
and little-endian compose data, and compile the correct flavour into
each build of GTK. This fixes failure of the composetable test when
building for a big-endian architecture such as s390x and (traditional,
big-endian) powerpc.

Apply heuristics to avoid breaking users existing configurations
with the change to not always add the default sequences.
If we find a cache that was generated before 4.4, and the Compose
file does not have an include, and doesn't contain so many sequences
that it is probably a copy of the system one, we take steps to keep
things working, and thell the user about it.
All tables use the compact format now, and we generate
caches in that format too. Bump the cache version to 3
for this.
Replace the python script for generating the builtin table
by a small C program using the same code to generate the data
for the builtin table. This drops the restriction on only
generating a single character in the builtin sequences.
