[9fans] unicode 7.0.0 support

[erik quanstrom]

since i missed the rather golden oppertunity to sleep in years ago and instead
scripted the conversion from the the unicode-published UnicodeData.txt
to the various plan 9 files, it was sadly trivial to convert and publish the new
data.  so we can now fully appreciate such gems as the blues brothers in unicode:

	+ 01f576	dark sunglasses

too bad there's no "carrie fisher with bazooka".  :-)  all the new files are up in
9atom.

Now all we need is CTL (complex text layout)!

that's what carrie fisher with the bazooka is for.  blasting the idea that

formerly understandable os + incomprehensible language for stick-building characters
	= goodness.

back to skokie, il.  and sadly they left her out!

:-) :-)

on the other hand, there are some bits, like variable-height lines that would be
immediately beneficial for code.  ∑ shouldn't get chopped off.

They had to leave something for the upcoming 8.0 standard. :-)

(Blues Brothers - what a wonderful movie. I saw it again a few months
ago for the first time in (ahem) decades.  To quote Terry Pratchett:
"We're on a mission from Glod." :-)

I don't have my Pratchett collection on board any more, so I can't provide the direct reference.

I still have the same Ray Bans from 1979.  The new prescription lenses are getting a bit more expensive, thought :-)
