We had a hard-coded table of number system digits copied from ECMA-402.
Turns out these digits are in the CLDR, so let's parse the digits from
there instead of hard-coding them.
There are a few algorithms in TR-35 that need to replace digits before
returning any results to callers. For example, when formatting time zone
offsets, a string like "GMT+12:34" must have its digits replaced with
the default numbering system for the desired locale.
Currently, we load the generated Unicode symbols with dlopen at runtime.
This is unnecessary as of 565a880ce5.
Applications that want Unicode data now link directly against the shared
library holding that data. So the same functionality can be achieved
with weak symbols.
There are 443 number system objects generated, each of which held an
array of number system symbols. Of those 443 arrays, only 39 are unique.
To uniquely store these, this change moves the generated NumericSymbol
enumeration to the public LibUnicode/NumberFormat.h header with a pre-
defined set of symbols that we need. This is to ensure the generated,
unique arrays are created in a known order with known symbols. While it
is unfortunate to no longer discover these symbols at generation time,
it does allow us to ignore unwanted symbols and perform less string-to-
enumeration conversions at lookup time.
Currently, we generate separate data files for locale and number format
related tables/methods, but provide public accessors for all of the data
in one Locale.h file. Rather than continuing this trend for date-time,
relative time, etc. formatting, it's a bit easier to reason about if the
public accessors are also in separate files.
