New charset IBM1153

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi Boris,

I'm on the way, to include extended charsets in my project 
https://java-nio-charset-enhanced.dev.java.net/ in footprint saving way.
Give me some more 2..3 weeks.
Then it would be easy for me to compile a special jar for you, which you 
could preload via -Xbootclasspath/p:, if you are using Java version 6.
