[darcs-users] [patch167] Reintroduce UTF-8 tagging (and 1 more)

New submission from Reinier Lamers <tux_rocker at reinier.de>:

This fixes some things in the UTF-8 metadata that's in the HEAD already. It
reintroduces the 'Ignore-this: UTF-8' line to be able to distinguish
normalized and denormalized strings, and it fixes the crash bug reported as
issue1739.

The issue1739 fix makes ColorPrinter escape characters greater than 127 as
"<U+XXXX>" instead of "\xx". I borrowed that notation from less (the pager).
The "U+XXXX" part is an accepted way of referring to Unicode code points.

What remains to do is:
  * remove the stopgap home-grown ICU binding that was intended for the 2.4
    release and replace it by text-icu
  * find a way of using ICU without bundling it or making installing darcs
    disproportionally difficult on Windows
