Use it for the actual I/O only. Previously, defining CONFIG_UTF8 and
enabling UTF-8 used to force many strings to the UTF-8 charset
regardless of the terminal charset option. Now, those strings always
follow the terminal charset. This fixes bug 914 which was caused
because _() returned strings in the terminal charset and functions
then assumed they were in UTF-8. This reduction in the effects of
UTF-8 I/O may also simplify future testing.
The configure script no longer recognizes "CONFIG_UTF_8=yes" lines
in custom features.conf files. They will have to be changed to
"CONFIG_UTF8=yes". This incompatibility was deemed acceptable
because no released version of ELinks supports CONFIG_UTF_8.
The --enable-utf-8 option was not renamed.
Suggested by Miciah on #elinks.
What was renamed:
add_utf_8 => add_utf8
cp2utf_8 => cp2utf8
encode_utf_8 => encode_utf8
get_translation_table_to_utf_8 => get_translation_table_to_utf8
goto invalid_utf_8_start_byte => goto invalid_utf8_start_byte
goto utf_8 => goto utf8
goto utf_8_select => goto utf8_select
terminal_interlink.utf_8 => terminal_interlink.utf8
utf_8_to_unicode => utf8_to_unicode
What was not renamed:
terminal._template_.utf_8_io option, TERM_OPT_UTF_8_IO
Compatibility with existing elinks.conf files would require an alias.
--enable-utf-8
Because the name of the charset is UTF-8, --enable-utf-8 looks better
than --enable-utf8.
CONFIG_UTF_8
Will be renamed in a later commit.
Unicode/utf_8.cp, table_utf_8, aliases_utf_8
Will be renamed in a later commit.

Also add an empty line above the label in init_tab; but there are
still several labels elsewhere that don't have empty lines above them.
The previous scheme incorrectly accepted 0xC1 0x80 as U+0040.
That could have been fixed by tweaking the loop, but the constant
array is surely easier to verify.
In the previous version, invalid UTF-8 from a terminal caused
UCS_NO_CHAR (0xFFFFFFFD) to be stored in a term_event_key_T, resulting
in -3 which was then incidentally treated as an unassigned special key.
Now, invalid UTF-8 is instead mapped to UCS_REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER
and treated as a character. The fact that handle_interlink_event
calls term_send_ucs when it receives invalid UTF-8 makes it pretty
clear that this is how it was intended.
src/viewer/text/link.c (not changed in this commit) already referred
to UCS_REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER in a comment even though it was not
previously defined.
Previously, ELinks used to silently discard the Alt modifier from
Alt-ö keystrokes when UTF-8 I/O was enabled. Now, separate actions
can be bound to ö and Alt-ö.
However, if CONFIG_UTF_8 is defined, then actions cannot be bound to
non-ASCII characters, regardless of modifiers. This is because the
code that handles names of keystrokes assumes a character can only be
a single byte. This commit does not change that.
Form fields and BFU text-input widgets then convert from UCS-4 to UTF-8.
If not all UTF-8 bytes fit, they don't insert anything. Thus it is no
longer possible to get invalid UTF-8 by hitting the length limit.
It is unclear to me which charset is supposed to be used for strings
in internal buffers. I made BFU insert UTF-8 whenever CONFIG_UTF_8,
but form fields use the charset of the terminal; that may have to be
changed.
As a side effect, this change should solve bug 782, because
term_send_ucs no longer encodes in UTF-8 if CONFIG_UTF_8 is defined.
I think the UTF-8 and codepage encoding calls I added are safe, too.
A similar bug may still surface somewhere else, but 782 could be
closed for now.
This change also lays the foundation for binding actions to non-ASCII
keys, but the keystroke name parser doesn't yet support that.
The CONFIG_UTF_8 mode does not currently support non-ASCII characters
in hot keys, either.
For instance, if Ctrl-F1 were pressed and src/terminal/kbd.c supported it,
then toupper(KBD_F1) would be called, resulting in undefined behaviour.
src/terminal/kbd.c does not support such combinations yet, but it is
safest to fix the bug already.
