Extract the character in its proper unicode form and encode it in a
new single_character_data table of locale data. Record each entry as
the range within that table that encodes it. Also added an assertion
in the generator script to check that the digits CLDR gives us are a
contiguous sequence in increasing order, as has been assumed by the
C++ code for some time. Lots of number-formatting code now has to take
account of how wide the digits are.
This leaves nowhere for updateSystemPrivate() to record values read
from sys_locale->query(), so we must always consult that function when
accessing these members of the systemData() object. Various internal
users of these single-character fields need the system-or-CLDR value
rather than the raw CLDR value, so move QLocalePrivate's methods to
supply them down to QLocaleData and ensure they check for system
values, where appropriate first.
This allows us to finally support the Chakma language and script, for
whose number system UTF-16 needs surrogate pairs.
Costs 10.8 kB in added data, much of it due to adding two new locales
that need surrogates to represent digits.
[ChangeLog][QtCore][QLocale] Various QLocale methods that returned
single QChar values now return QString values to accommodate those
locales which need a surrogate pair to represent the (single
character) return value.
