This change removes the assertions limiting replacement strings in the compose table to be less than 20 characters.
The limit seems arbitrary, is not required, will break some users' setups, and problems with it result in applications not launching.
Fixes#4273
This adds support for sequences like <Compose>,G,u -> capital G with
breve. Previously, only a capital U was accepted for E, G, I and O
(but a lower-case u was accepted for A and U for some reason).

Remove the limitation on the number of dead keys
that we match, and allow the result be be multiple
characters.
Regenerate the builtin sequences, since this changes
what dead key sequences we can reproduce algorithmically.
Update tests to match.
Fixes: #10
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.
This lets us naturally replace matching sequences
while parsing. That means that the semantics are now
"last one wins" if the parser sees multiple entries
for the same sequence.
Add a testcase that checks the new replacement semantics.
