Here is a v4 version of the patches, addressing an important concern
raised by Andreas Nahr: additional complexity in the various Char.Is*
predicates causes them not to be inlined anymore by the current JIT,
and results in an important performance drop.

This version keeps the U+0000–U+FFFF portion of the table purely
linear, so that the various methods dealing with (16-bit) chars are
not touched.  The downsides are:

  - The total amount of embedded data grows by 13.5kB;

  - This technique does not allow efficient page sharing between the
    lower portion of multiple versions of the category database,
    requiring an additional ~75kB per supported variant.

This iteration consequently only supports versions v2.0.50727 and
v3.5.21022 of Microsoft's framework (which share a database), but not
the recent v4.0 releases, whose tables contain substantial changes.
