Corentin Jabot c92056d038 [Clang][C++23] P2071 Named universal character escapes
Implements [[ https://wg21.link/p2071r1  | P2071 Named Universal Character Escapes ]] - as an extension in all language mode, the patch  not warn in c++23 mode will be done later once this paper is plenary approved (in July).

We add

 * A code generator that transforms `UnicodeData.txt` and `NameAliases.txt` to a space efficient data structure that can be queried in `O(NameLength)`
 * A set of functions in `Unicode.h` to query that data, including

   * A function to find an exact match of a given Unicode character name
   * A function to perform a loose (ignoring case, space, underscore, medial hyphen) matching
   * A function returning the best matching codepoint for a given string per edit distance

 * Support of `\N{}` escape sequences in String and character Literals, with loose and typos diagnostics/fixits
 * Support of `\N{}` as UCN with loose matching diagnostics/fixits.

Loose matching is considered an error to match closely the semantics of P2071.

The generated data contributes to 280kB of data to the binaries.

`UnicodeData.txt` and `NameAliases.txt`  are not committed to the repository in this patch, and regenerating the data is a manual process.

// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang forums:
