This implements the Unicode Technical Committee recommendation around GB18030-2022 in a matter suitable for this standard, taking into account existing practice and the closeness between GBK and gb18030.

In particular, using the text file attached to https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2023/23003r-gb18030-recommendations.pdf this does the following:

  1. Merges the first set of 18 mappings, which are bidirectional, directly into index gb18030, replacing existing PUA entries. This ends up impacting GBK and gb18030.
  2. The second set of 18 mappings (from PUA to bytes) are encoded as an encoder only table, for both GBK and gb18030.
  3. The third set of 18 mappings (from bytes to code points) are ignored, as they are already covered by index gb18030 ranges. (Presumably they are included because the recommendation covers the transition from "Previous Mappings" to "Current Mappings" to "Recommended Mappings", whereas we are going directly from "Previous Mappings" to "Recommended Mappings".)

The reason for changing GBK as well is because Chromium and WebKit have already code in the wild that impacts GBK to some degree (although the encoder only table is excluded for GBK only at the moment, including that would make the most sense compatibility-wise) and no fallout has been recorded. Additionally GBK is already positioned as a rough subset of gb18030 in this standard, with the decoder being shared completely.

Tests: encoding/legacy-mb-schinese has some GB18030-2022 coverage already. The aim is to complete that with web-platform-tests/wpt#48239 and web-platform-tests/wpt#48240.

This supersedes #335. This fixes #27 and fixes #312.

(See WHATWG Working Mode: Changes for more details.)

Reviewed by NOBODY (OOPS!).

For GBK and gb18030 we have used the same backing table for quite a
while now. This backing table was updated to account for GB18030-2022
at some point and this impacted GBK as well.

However, the encoder side table was kept disabled for GBK, despite it
actually allowing GBK to be more compatible with its former self.

whatwg/encoding#336 now standardizes the
behavior that GBK and gb18030 are to remain aligned in these matters
and this change implements that.

The corresponding tests are from this PR:

Technically LGTM, but please 1) revise the informative description of index-gb18030-ranges.txt and 2) please re-run the visualization generator script.

Thanks.
