create-category-table: Utility to generate reasonably-packed Unicode tables

This program generates (partially) bi-level tables encoding the
contents of the Unicode character category database.

Mono embeds a linear table with category codes for the Unicode
BMP (first 65536 codepoints), and lacks information about characters
in the astral planes--leading to requests such as bug 480178.
Extending the linear table to cover the full codespace is not an ideal
solution, as that would expand the embedded "blob" by a factor of 17.

The new tables generated by this program can be used to support the
full range of characters.  An additional level of indirection used for
characters outside the U+0000..U+FFFF range enables "page" sharing, so
that the total amount of embedded data only grows by 13.5kB.

Cf. in-file comments for usage instructions.
