  xkbcomp: Add Unicode code point escape sequence \u{NNNN}
  
  Unicode code point escape sequences `\u{NNNN}` are replaced with the
  UTF-8 encoding of their corresponding code point `U+NNNN`, if legal.
  Supported Unicode code points are in the range `1‥0x10ffff`.
  
  Note that we will reject the `U+0000` NULL code point, as we reject it
  in the octal escape sequence `\0`.
  
  This is intended mainly for the upcoming feature to write keysyms as
  UTF-8 encoded strings. It can be used for various reasons:
  - avoid encoding issues;
  - avoid issue with font rendering (e.g. Asian scripts);
  - make white space or zero-width characters more readable.
