[PATCH 0/3]: C++20 P0482R6 and C2X N2653: support for char8_t, mbrtoc8(), and c8rtomb().

[Tom Honermann <tom@honermann.net>]

This series of patches provides the following:
- A fix for bug 25744 [1].
- Implementations of the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb functions adopted for
   C++20 via WG21 P0482R6 [2] and proposed for C2X in WG14 N2653 [3].
- A char8_t typedef as proposed for C2X in WG14 N2653 [3].

These patches addresses feedback provided in response to a previous 
submission [4][5].

Patch 1: A fix and test for bug 25744 [1].
Patch 2: Definitions of the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb functions and the
          char8_t typedef.
Patch 3: Tests for the mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb functions and the char8_t
          typedef.

The fix for bug 25744 [1] is included in this patch series because the 
tests for mbrtoc8 and c8rtomb depend on it for exercising the special 
case where a pair of Unicode code points is converted to/from a single 
double byte sequence. Such conversion cases exist for Big5-HKSCS.

Since N2653 has not yet been adopted by WG14 for C2x, the new 
declarations are only present for C when _GNU_SOURCE is defined. If WG14 
adopts the proposal for C2x, additional changes will be needed to enable 
the changes for C2x.

Tom.
