With this change, for the benefit of jigsaw, the Charset support needed
by the font code
now uses just the public APIs. Some "utility" code was copied from
sun.nio - some of
which could perhaps have been put in a public package by nio but since its
not I had to copy it. Also some tables were copied. The amount of
data may look large but there are already large data tables in this package.
Alternative solutions - that obsolete the need for the charsets - would
be far
more disruptive.
There's a test included that I used to check this code was functioning
as it used to
before the change. It is not exhaustive, but I believe sufficient.
