[jlreq] Expand JLReq character set Unicode (#166)

kidayasuo has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/jlreq:

== Expand JLReq character set Unicode ==
Currently JLReq covers Collection 285 and 286 defined by ISO/IEC 10646 Annex A. It covers ideographic characters from JIS X 0208 + non-ideographic characters from JIS X 0213. The fact that it does not cover all Unicode characters poses issues with international text. For example its behaviour with Arabic or Hangul characters, and symbols which are not included in the collection 286 are undefined.

We want to extend the character set to Unicode to resolve this.

It requires extending JLReq character classes. To cope with ever updating Unicode, definition character classes should probably be done using Unicode character properties.
