Tim Starling ce062407ab Fix further non-local effects of library registration
Fixed several accidental leaks to the global namespace due to missing
"local" declaration. Removed extension of the string table by mw.uri,
same justification as I5d0ddb70.

Tim Starling f2f866cbdd Remove global side-effects from mw.ustring library registration
The point of putting the unicode library in mw.ustring instead of
ustring was to avoid conflicts with future upstream work, and with other
libraries. It rather defeats the purpose if you then modify the global
string table during module startup.

Users can always set up local aliases if they feel "mw.ustring" is too
much to type.

Brad Jorsch 0a8757baba Lua ustring implementation
This is a reimplementation of Lua's string library with support for
UTF-8.

The entire ustring library is implemented in pure Lua. PHP callbacks are
also available for overrides: in LuaSandbox these are used for almost
all functions, while in LuaStandalone they are used only for the pattern
matching. Also, ustring.upper and ustring.lower are overridden using
mw.language's .uc and .lc if available.

It also includes a bunch of unit tests.

Note that if you download the normalization tests, they may fail under
LuaSandbox if you have PHP's intl extension installed and libicu on your
system is too old.
